A marking device that is supported by a personal mobility vehicle, such as a scooter, is movable from a first position, in which the marking device does not contact the riding surface, and a second position, in which the marking device contacts the riding surface. The marking device includes an attachment portion and a marking portion that creates markings on the riding surface as a result of frictional contact with the riding surface. The marking device can also include an actuation portion which is accessible to the user and allows the user to move the marking device to the second position. In one arrangement, the marking device includes an elastic marking member which is configured to bend in order to maintain contact with the riding surface.

Provided are a mechanical-pencil cap serving as a touch-pen tip and a pencil-lead sharpener, and a mechanical pencil having the mechanical-pencil cap. The mechanical-pencil cap includes a front fixing part (11b) for the touch-pen tip formed in a shape of a truncated conical recess, and a pencil-lead sharpener functioning part (11c) provided to be opposite to the front fixing part (11b) for the touch-pen tip, and connected to the touch-pen tip (11f) formed to surround an outer circumference of a touch-pen tip fixing member (11e). This enables an input operation into a mobile terminal, such as a smartphone or a smart pad having a capacitive touch screen, to be performed in a touch manner, and allows a pencil lead inserted into a pencil-lead insert container and ejected out when in use to be conveniently sharpened without the necessity of separating the pencil lead.
