In some embodiments, an electric scooter comprises a deck configured to support a rider, front and rear wheels, a handlebar assembly that includes a handlebar, a left handle, and a right handle, a steering column that includes a steering tube and the handlebar assembly, and an electric motor configured to provide mechanical power to at least one of the front and the rear wheels. One or more of the steering column, steering tube, handlebar assembly, handlebar, left handle, right handle, and deck can be configured to be detachable and comprise one or more rechargeable battery packs. In addition, one or more of the steering column, steering tube, handlebar assembly, handlebar, left handle, right handle, and deck can be configured to receive one or more removable rechargeable batteries.

A method for controlling an electric vehicle and the electric vehicle are provided. The method includes: under a condition in which the electric vehicle is in unlocked and motor control shielded states, first predetermined information is detected, wherein the first predetermined information is used for indicating that a rider is located on the electric vehicle; the electric vehicle is controlled to switch from the motor control shielded state to a motor control unshielded state; a predetermined control signal is received in the motor control unshielded state; and a motor of the electric vehicle is controlled to rotate according to a rotational speed corresponding to the predetermined control signal. With the disclosure, the problems of complex operation and poor user experience of a manner for controlling the electric vehicle in the related art are solved.

The present disclosure provides an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes: a handlebar, and an electric vehicle state indicator lamp, wherein the electric vehicle state indicator lamp is located on the handlebar of the electric vehicle, or on an upper portion of a handlebar stem of the electric vehicle, and the electric vehicle state indicator lamp is configured to indicate different vehicle states of the electric vehicle by using different display manners of the electric vehicle state indicator lamp. By adopting the above technical solution, the problem that information on various vehicle states of the electric vehicle only can be known via an instrument screen, causing a high cost and affect a visual effect and the like in the related art is solved.

A motorized scooter, for which an operation of the motorized wheel can be controlled based on a pitch of the foot platform. A motor control unit is operable in at least one pitch control mode, in which the operation of the motorized wheel is based upon the pitch of the foot platform, and a drive mode, in which the user controls the operation of the motorized wheel via a user input interface, in the manner of a conventional motorized scooter.

The vehicle is provided with a dashboard and with a housing in which a mobile device, for example a mobile phone or smartphone, can be inserted. An electronic control unit of the vehicle co-acts with the mobile device by means of an electronic interface, so as to provide the mobile device with information relating to the operation of the vehicle. In this way, the mobile device provides an integration of the on-board instruments of the vehicle, which completes the instruments available on the dashboard.

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 parking and charging station for electric vehicles, the parking and charging station has a small footprint and data transfer capability. The electric vehicles may include e-bikes and e-scooters, but other similar vehicles may also be supported. The parking and charging station may include a vertical automatic and motorized conveyor. The parking and charging station may include a standalone vertical post with one or more bars attached horizontally.

The invention is directed systems, methods, and devices for a modular charging station configured to be expanded or retracted to accommodate and charge a variable number of light electric personal mobility vehicles, and in particular electric two-wheeled, self-balancing, non-tandem light electric personal mobility vehicles. Additional embodiments include a novel vehicle adaptor configured to be coupled to a light electric personal mobility vehicle that is further in electrical communication with the vehicle's battery therewith, that can further be coupled with a receiving dock on a modular charging station that is configured to communicate with, and electrically charge the vehicle's battery from a power supply.
