The present invention discloses a brake handle device and an electric tractor. The brake handle device includes a seat body, a microswitch, a wrench and an elastic piece, wherein the microswitch is electrically connected with a driving motor and a power supply, and includes a main body part and a braking part; the main body part is arranged on the seat body; the braking part extends into the main body part and can elastically expand and contract relative to the main body part; the wrench is rotatably arranged on the seat body and can be abutted against the braking part; and the elastic piece is arranged on the seat body and connected with the wrench. The wrench is held to drive the wrench to rotate in the direction close to a handlebar; and the wrench is released to make the wrench rotate and reset.

Some implementations can include a zero turn radius utility vehicle that is operated in a standing position by an operator using foot controls provided on the utility vehicle. Accordingly, the operator's hands are free to operate handheld equipment (e.g., a line trimmer, edger, blower, etc.) while the operator controls the utility vehicle via the foot controls. Further, the utility vehicle may have a single third wheel (and no mower deck or other deck or protrusion) extending from the front of the vehicle frame so as to minimize any protrusions to the front of the vehicle, which can permit the operator to work on the ground in front of the utility vehicle using handheld equipment without interference from a mower deck, while remaining in a standing position on the utility vehicle and being able to simultaneously control the utility vehicle (via foot controls) and perform work with handheld equipment.

A motorized personal transport utility vehicle comprises a frame, independent front and rear suspension and a plurality of wheel hubs. Each suspension arm is pivotally coupled to a central frame portion. A pair of front wheel hubs are coupled to the front suspension arms and a pair of rear wheel hubs are coupled to the rear suspension arms. Each of the wheel hubs includes an integrated electric hub motor. The front and rear suspension arms are configured such that the front wheel hub track width is greater than the rear wheel hub track width such that the inner width between the insides of the front wheel hubs is greater than the outer width between the rear wheel hubs.

An electric self-balancing vehicle including a top cover, a bottom cover, an inner cover, a rotating mechanism, two wheels, two hub motors, a plurality of sensors, a power supply, and a controller is described herein. The top cover includes a first top cover and a second top cover disposed symmetrically and rotatable relative to each other. The bottom cover is fixed to the top cover and includes a first bottom cover and a second bottom cover disposed symmetrically and rotatable relative to each other. The inner cover is fixed between the top cover and the bottom cover and includes a first inner cover and a second inner cover disposed symmetrically and rotatable relative to each other. The rotating mechanism is fixed between the first inner cover and the second inner cover. The two wheels are rotatably fixed at two sides of the inner cover, respectively. The two hub motors are fixed in the two wheels, respectively. The plurality of sensors is disposed between the bottom cover and the inner cover, respectively. The power supply is fixed between the first bottom cover and the first inner cover. The controller is fixed between the second bottom cover and the second inner cover, the controller is electrically connected with the plurality of sensors, the power supply, and the hub motors, and the controller controls the hub motors to drive the corresponding wheels to rotate according to sensing signals transmitted by the sensors.

A tractor includes a tractor frame having a forward end and a rearward end. A control unit is positioned between the forward and rearward ends. A front wheel is relatively near the tractor frame forward end, and a rear wheel is relatively distant from the frame forward end. A work function extends forward of the tractor frame forward end. A platform is rotatably secured to the tractor frame and a rear end of the platform rests atop a biasing member positioned at the tractor frame rearward end. The platform has an axis of rotation higher than an axis of the rear wheel and at least as high as an axis of the front wheel.

Track assemblies (242; 300) for power machines (100; 200) include a track frame (243; 302), including a primary portion (304) and a second portion (306) moveable with respect to the primary portion. A plurality of rollers (248; 316) are positioned along the primary portion of the track frame relative to each other and the center of gravity of the power machine to provide an improved capability to compensate for vibration generated as the power machine moves over a support surface. In some aspects, a portion of a tensioning idler (e.g., 310) is positioned within a cylinder defined by one of the plurality of rollers.

A drive assembly for a walk-behind, powered device operably couples an engine of the powered device to a mobility assembly to provide mobility of the powered device responsive at least in part to operation of the engine. The drive assembly includes a transmission shaft and a short turning assembly. The transmission shaft selectively receives drive power operably coupled from the engine to drive a first drivable component and a second drivable component of the mobility assembly. The first and second drivable components are disposed substantially at opposite sides of the powered device. The short turning assembly is configured to cause both disengagement of drive power and activation of braking to the first drivable component while drive power is provided to the second drivable component.

Motorized hub assemblies for use with platforms and the corresponding motorized platforms are presented. At least one of the hub assemblies can be a motor and can contain an internal motor to propel the platform when activated. In some embodiments, the motorized platform has two sets of motorized wheels or two sets or motorized treads for differential rate maneuvering. In some embodiments, different base platforms are mounted to a single set of wheels or a single tread to provide a sporty style ride. A handlebar can also be implemented for greater stability. In all cases, there is no requirement for an electronic stabilization platform.
