A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle may include a board having two deck portions each having a concave front footpad configured to receive a foot of a rider, and a wheel assembly disposed between the deck portions. The concave front footpad has a rider detection sensor in the form of a membrane switch conforming to the shape of the footpad (e.g., facilitated by one or more slots formed in the membrane switch). A motor assembly drives the vehicle in response to board orientation and rider detection information. The vehicle may have a secondary battery chargeable via a three-pin charging port including an input pin, a ground pin, and an identification pin configured to receive an expected identification signal from an external charging circuit.

A personal mobility may include a sensor configured to detect an event; a plurality of protruding elements, each of which includes an actuator and a load sensor, protruding from the scaffold and configured of descending according to a load applied thereto or rising according to an output of the actuator; and a controller connected to the sensor and the plurality of protruding elements and configured to determine a position of the sole of the user based on an output of the protruding element descending according to the load of the user among the plurality of protruding elements when the user boards on the scaffold, determine the type of the event based on the output of the sensor and control to raise at least one protruding element among the protruding elements located below the sole based on the type of the event.

A system includes a tool and an emergency response vehicle transitionable between a motive gear and a non-motive gear. The emergency response vehicle includes a mount for removably securing the tool to the emergency response vehicle. The system further includes a scanner coupled to the emergency response vehicle and operable to detect the tool when the tool is secured to the emergency response vehicle by the mount and a controller communicatively coupled to the scanner. The system is configured to determine that the emergency response vehicle has transitioned between a non-motive gear and a motive gear and in response to determining that the emergency response vehicle has transitioned between the non-motive gear and the motive gear, cause the scanner to scan the emergency response vehicle for the tool to determine whether the tool is secured to the emergency response vehicle.

A self-stabilizing vehicle includes a mass gyroscope which is fixed at an occupant compartment chassis corresponding to a portion where occupants sit. The occupant compartment portion may tilt outwards in response to the centrifugal force. If the vehicle has three or more wheels, the load is evenly distributed on the left wheel and the right wheel which move oppositely up and down about an effectively centrally-mounted shaft pin. Further, the present disclosure proposes a method for operating the self-stabilizing vehicle. According to the self-stabilizing vehicle and the operating method thereof, a vehicle having a narrow body may be used. When the vehicle undergoes external forces such as the centrifugal force and the crosswind, the occupant compartment can maintain the vertical stability even though the wheels may slide sideways.

The present invention relates to an electric kickboard in which an impact absorbing device is installed, and more particularly, to an electric kickboard including an impact absorbing device to support a weight of a user standing up by allowing the impact absorbing device to sufficiently absorb an impact when a seat is vibrated during riding by using elasticity of springs having different spring constants and including a self-power generating drive at one side thereof to produce electricity using vertical vibrations during riding and accumulate the produced electricity, thereby improving an energy efficiency.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a wireless remote control or remote control application for controlling the lighting of an electronic personal transportation vehicle. Embodiments can solve problems related to sharing electronic personal transportation vehicles by uniquely identifying a user, and allowing that user to control the lighting of the electronic personal transportation vehicle. In this manner, other users can control the lighting at different times, depending on the specific person that is using the electronic personal transportation vehicle at any given time.

A hoverboard comprises a left supporting shaft, a right supporting shaft and wheels, wherein an outer end of the left supporting shaft and an outer end of the right supporting shaft are both connected to the wheels; an inner end of the left supporting shaft and an inner end of the right supporting shaft are relatively rotatably connected to each other; the inner end of the right supporting shaft is provided with a small outer-diameter portion which is adaptively inserted in the inner end of the left supporting shaft; a side wall of the inner end of the left supporting shaft is provided with an arc-shaped through hole; a lower end of a limiting bolt penetrates through the arc-shaped through hole to be fixedly connected to the small outer-diameter portion, and an upper end of the limiting bolt is at least higher than a lower edge of the arc-shaped through hole; and two inner side walls of the arc-shaped through hole in a lengthwise direction thereof define extreme positions of the relative rotation of the left supporting shaft and the right supporting shaft respectively. The hoverboard having a structure, capable of being assembled more conveniently, that the left supporting shaft and the right supporting shaft are relatively rotatably connected to each other is provided, and compared with similar products on the current market, the hoverboard has more space to reduce its own weight.

A motorcycle loader 100 for moving a motorcycle 10 without turning the motorcycle 10 on, and in particular, moving the motorcycle 10 to an elevated surface by attaching a friction wheel 102 to one of the tires 16 of the motorcycle 10 using a frame 110 that attaches to the motorcycle 10, and uses a motor 103 operatively connected to the friction wheel 102 to power the friction wheel 102, which causes the motorcycle wheel 16 to turn, thereby mobilizing the motorcycle 10. A controller 104 connected to the motor 103 of the motorcycle loader 100 can control the power, direction, and speed of the motor 103. The controller 104 can be connected to the battery of the motorcycle 10 to power the friction wheel 102. A clamp 160 operatively connected to the friction wheel 102 can be used to engage or disengage the friction wheel 102 from the tire 16 of the motorcycle 10.
