Devices, systems, and methods for controlling microbial contamination of scooters are disclosed. A method may include determining that a user interaction with a vehicle is complete, presenting a first indication that the vehicle is unavailable for use, activating a heating element of the vehicle, the heating element associated with a microbial reduction process, determining that a time period associated with the microbial reduction process has expired, deactivating, based on the expiration of the time period, the heating element of the vehicle, and presenting a second indication that the vehicle is available for use.

A personal mobility vehicle or scooter includes a least one swivel caster wheel supported at the rear of the scooter. The scooter has a body that includes a deck and a handlebar assembly. The scooter includes at least one front wheel with the deck extending between the at least one front wheel and the at least one swivel wheel. The scooter can also include an angled rear portion supporting a rear swivel caster wheel such that the pivot axis of the swivel wheel is inclined with respect to the top surface of the deck. Embodiments of the scooter also include a swivel braking assembly configured to apply a braking force to the at least one swivel wheel.

In human-powered vehicles, e.g., bicycles, etc., it is customary to use drum brakes, disc brakes or shoe brakes. Each of the braking systems has different advantages in terms of braking effect, system costs, ease of maintenance, etc. A brake unit with a modified structure for a vehicle is provided. For this purpose, a brake unit 14 for a vehicle 1 is disclosed, having a housing 15, having a brake body device 23, wherein the brake body device 23 supports a stationary brake partner of a brake apparatus 12 for the vehicle 1, wherein the housing 15 and/or the brake body device 23 defines a main axis H, having an actuator for moving the brake body device relative to the housing 15 in order to generate a braking force, wherein the stationary brake partner is formed as a brake disc 13.

A reciprocating mechanism includes a first connecting element, a crankshaft and a second connecting element. The crankshaft includes a rotation shaft, a first following element and a second following element. The first following element is pivotally disposed on one side of the rotation shaft and movably coupled to the first connecting element. The second following element is pivotally disposed on the other side of the rotation shaft, and a first angle is formed between the first following element and the second following element. The second connecting element is movably coupled to the second following element. The first following element and the second following element are configured to rotate around the rotation shaft so as to be movably coupled to and cause each of the first connecting element and the second connecting element to reciprocate and cyclically pivot along an arc-shaped trajectory.

A shock absorber includes a stationary part; a steering part extending in a longitudinal direction and rotatably coupled to the stationary part by a rotation axis in the longitudinal direction; a sliding part which forms an internal space containing fluid between the steering part and slidably coupled to the steering part in a direction in which the steering part extends; an elastic body having both ends respectively coupled to the steering part and the sliding part to support the steering part and the sliding part and maintain the internal space between the steering part and the sliding part; a flow path formed in the sliding part and configured to communicate the internal space between the steering part and the sliding part to outside so that the fluid can flow; and a steered driving wheel slidably connected to the sliding part.

A running gear for small electrical vehicles provides the possibility of inclining and of steering the vehicle and of damping bumps in the carriageway, the chassis comprising a frame connection to the vehicle frame, a rigid or damped rocker beam assembly, a central bolt, a flexible transverse link plate, two uprights for keeping hold of the two front wheels, and two steering rods which each connect one of the two uprights to the steering device. The area of use comprises multi-wheeled small vehicles.

A brake device for a vehicle with at least one wheel, wherein the wheel defines a rotational axis, with a brake body device for the transmission of a brake force to the wheel, with a concentric brake cylinder for the generation of the brake force. The brake cylinder has an inner housing part for radial support on a wheel axle of the wheel and an outer housing part for axial support on the brake body device. The two housing parts can be moved relative to one another, and a pressure chamber which runs around the rotational axis is formed between the two housing parts. The brake device has an insulation device for the thermal insulation of the brake body device in the direction of the brake cylinder. The insulation device is arranged at least axially between the outer housing part and the brake body device.

A luggage scooter has a middle frame, a front wheel section, a seat section, and a rear wheel section. The front wheel section has a front wheel frame pivotally connected to the middle frame at a front wheel frame joint. The front wheel frame is mounted to a steering joint. The steering joint is mounted on the middle frame. The steering joint provides steering in both a left and right direction. The front wheel frame joint provides the front wheel frame with configurable position between a stowed position and a deployed position. A front wheel is mounted to the front wheel frame at a front wheel support. A rear wheel section has a rear wheel frame pivotally connected to the middle frame at a rear wheel frame joint.

The disclosure provides a scooter and relates to the technical field of vehicles for replacing walking. The scooter includes a head, a front wheel bracket, a front wheel, a body, a rear wheel bracket and a rear wheel. The body includes a main plate and a bottom plate, and a movable frame is arranged at the bottom plate. The dual-use of the movable frame can be realized by hinging the movable frame to the main plate, so that the movable frame can be used not only for the support when parking, but also for the protection of the body during driving. The tail lamp plate integrally connected to the bottom plate can better ensure the driving safety by setting the light-emitting surface inclined. Moreover, the guard can be easily removed for cleaning.

A solar powered electric motorized scooter is provided for use with a battery, the solar powered electric motorized scooter comprising a base, a flexible foot pad which has a margin, the margin attached to the base, a plurality of flexible solar cells mounted on the base, an electric motor which is in electrical communication with the flexible solar cells, a front wheel, a back wheel, the wheels rotatably disposed on the base and in motive communication with the motor, a steering tube rotatably mounted to the base and attached to a bracket that retains the axle of the front wheel and a handlebar, which terminates the steering tube, wherein the flexible foot pad is configured to flatten under the pressure of a rider and to curve upward when not under pressure of the rider.
