A kick scooter includes a deck, an upright tube, and a folding mechanism. The upright tube is mounted by the folding mechanism to the deck. The folding mechanism includes a mounting case mounted on the deck and two connecting arms attached to the upright tube. The mounting case is pivotally mounted to a rocking arm that is provided with a position-restoring preloading force and has a free end to which a moving bar is attached. The two connecting arms are respectively formed with arc guide slots opposite to each other and centered at a pivotal joint to receive a moving bar of the rocking arm to extend therethrough for being guided thereby to move. Each arc guide slot has two ends respectively formed with a folding positioning notch and an expanding positioning notch for selectively positioning the moving bar therein as being biased by the position-restoring preloading force.

Dynamically balanced in-line wheel vehicle

A family of vehicles is presented which exploit dynamic controls to stabilize in-line two wheeled vehicles. The stabilization results in improved safety at high speeds and on uncooperative surfaces. Stabilization affords balance at zero speed without auxiliary support means. Transformational wheel base length affords high visibility at low speeds and low drag at high speeds. In wheel chair configurations transforming wheel base length allows navigation up and down stairs.

URBAN BANK FOR PARKING AND CHARGE OF VEHICLES

A system and method to house and/or charge electric vehicles, such as scooters, by resolving their integration into public spaces or establishments through a solution that preserves them from inclement weather as well as vandalism or robbery, while offering a bank that can be used, at the same time, to sit down. This avoids the serious problems that are generated when these vehicles occupy the sidewalks and other spaces and solves charging problems especially in fleet services. The bank can present individualized cabins with space for security elements such as vests or helmets, as well as media for remote management. Additionally, versions that incorporate a space for vending may be implemented.

SCOOTER
20210323626 · 2021-10-21 · ·

The present disclosure provides a scooter including a wiring structure. The wiring structure is fixedly connected to the handle assembly, the frame assembly, and the front wheel assembly, respectively. The second tubular member sleeves a periphery of the first tubular member and an axis of the first tubular member coincides with an axis of the second tubular member. A first opening and a second opening are respectively provided on the first tubular member and the second tubular member, and the first opening is opposite to the second opening. One end of the third tubular member is fixedly connected to the second tubular member along the second opening. When the first tubular member is rotated relative to the second tubular member there is a gap. The scooter of the present disclosure has the advantage of smoothly guiding the wires without damaging the wires.

Self-balancing board with primary wheel and distal auxiliary wheel
11148037 · 2021-10-19 · ·

A self-balancing board is provided, comprising a primary wheel assembly, a platform, at least one sensor, a controller, a first auxiliary wheel assembly, and a first brake element. The primary wheel assembly comprises a primary wheel and a motor driving the primary wheel. The platform is secured to the primary wheel assembly and has a foot deck. The at least one sensor senses the orientation of the platform. The controller receives data from the at least one sensor and controls the motor in response to the received data. The first auxiliary wheel assembly is secured to the platform distal the primary wheel assembly, and is elevated from contacting a flat surface upon which the primary wheel rests when the foot deck is parallel to the flat surface. The first brake element is manually movable relative to the first auxiliary wheel assembly to engage the first auxiliary wheel assembly to provide resistance to rotation of the first auxiliary wheel assembly.

Scooter having a contracting steering handle for unmanned operation

The present disclosure provides a scooter. The scooter includes a scooter body and a photographing portion; the photographing portion is mounted on the scooter body; and the scooter body is provided with an avoidance space for avoiding a photographing view angle of the photographing portion, so that the photographing portion photographs a road condition around the scooter body.

MOBILE APPARATUS AND ENERGY SYSTEM
20210316633 · 2021-10-14 ·

There is provided a method and apparatus for requesting a battery to be unlocked from an e-vehicle using an application for authorising a user to unlock the battery. A request is received at a cloud-based server, to unlock the battery from the micro mobility vehicle. Authorisation data is provided, by the cloud-based server, if the user making the request is permitted to unlock the battery at the e-vehicle. Further, methods and apparatus for controlling a self-serviced battery swap station by a cloud-based server are described. Battery data may be obtained from a cloud-connected battery swap station, the obtained battery data may be used to generate battery charging control data. The battery charging control data may be sent to the battery swap station.

Recumbent bicycle and methods of riding employing supplemental upper body power, enhanced aerodynamics, stability, and control
11142274 · 2021-10-12 ·

Disclosed is a recumbent bicycle configuration, structure and methods which allow effective hand power input using only components otherwise required to pedal and steer. Force and work based hand power methods are used. The effect is comparable to standing and pedaling a conventional bicycle. The configuration has front wheel drive and steering. The crankset is fork mounted on or near the steering axis. The fork has a double triangulated torque tube structure which is rigid from the hand grips to the crankshaft endpoints to torsional hand and foot forces in opposition. Pedal forces on steering are controlled by a hand over foot leverage ratio, and by use of trail, which is increasingly effective with speed. A fork mounted fairing can be used. For stability, the fairing aerodynamic center of presented area is ahead of the steering axis. Hand, foot and selective braking inputs are used for enhanced control.
