KIT OF SCOOTER AND SCOOTER
A kit of a scooter and a scooter are provided. The kit includes: a deck assembly; a first steering assembly arranged to a first end of the deck assembly; a driven wheel assembly arranged to the first steering assembly and configured to rotate relative to the deck assembly through the first steering assembly; a second steering assembly arranged to a second end of the deck assembly; a connecting device arranged to the second steering assembly and configured to rotate relative to the deck assembly through the second steering assembly. The connecting device is a device of the kit configured to be connected to a power wheel assembly.
EASILY AND QUICKLY FOLDABLE ELECTRIC SCOOTER
An electric scooter includes: an upper plate member including two roll tubes and a shaft tube pivotally connected to a standing tube and inserted into the roll tubes, the standing tube having a hooking part and a connection part disposed between the roll tubes and inserted by the shaft tube; a lower plate member including a pressing part positioning with the hooking part; two frames pivotally connected between the upper and lower plate members through bolts, each opened frame including a clip tightly covering the standing tube; a stopper disposed between the upper and lower plate members and positioning the closed frames; and a pivotal connection seat including two frame fitting members covering the tapered portions and having a quick release member, a tapered seat base having a top part combined with a cover frame of the seat cushion provided with a quick release member fixed to a positioning hole.
Electric scooter with top-swappable battery
Provided is an electric scooter with a top-swappable battery. In some embodiments, the electric scooter a frame having an opening, and a removable deck assembly disposed in the opening, the removable deck assembly comprising a deck having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a battery pack attached to the lower surface of the deck.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with locking a micromobility transit vehicle to a stationary object. A multimodal transportation system may include a docking station including a securement point, and a micromobility transit vehicle securable to the securement point of the docking station. The micromobility transit vehicle may include a storage basket and a lock cable including a first end coupled to the storage basket and a second end. The second end of the lock cable may be securable to the securement point of the docking station to lock the micromobility transit vehicle to the docking station. The storage basket may include a pin lock. The pin lock may engage a locking pin of the lock cable to lock the micromobility transit vehicle via the lock cable.
ELECTRIC KICKBOARD AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
An electric kickboard may include: a top plate of a foot plate including a receiving portion in which an electronic lock device for fixing the electric kickboard is installed; and a bottom plate of the foot plate, which is assembled to the top plate of the foot plate and fixes the electronic lock device
PERSONAL MOBILITY AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A personal mobility and a control method thereof may include a main body, a steering shaft rotatably coupled to the main body, a steering limiting device configured to limit rotation of the steering shaft, a posture sensor provided to detect a change in posture of the main body, and a controller configured to selectively generate a control signal to control an operation of the steering limiting device to limit the rotation of the steering shaft when the controller determines that the posture of the main body changes at a speed exceeding a predetermined speed.
A VEHICLE STABILISING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF
A system includes: sensors that includes a position sensor to determine a vehicle speed, an angular displacement sensor to determine a roll angle corresponding to an angular displacement of the vehicle in a roll direction and a roll rate corresponding to an angular velocity of the vehicle in the roll direction, and a steering torque sensor to determine a steering torque applied to a steering handle of the vehicle; and a stabilizing unit coupled to the sensors. The stabilizing unit: determines a synthesized torque based on the roll angle, the roll rate, and the vehicle speed; determines a tuning parameter based on a comparison of the synthesized torque and the steering torque; determines a stabilizing torque based on the tuning parameter and the synthesized torque; and provides an actuating signal corresponding to the stabilizing torque for applying the stabilizing torque to the steering handle of the vehicle.
LEANING VEHICLE
A leaning vehicle configured to lean leftward and rightward when turning left and right, respectively. The leaning vehicle has a vehicle body frame, a seat supported by the vehicle body frame, left and right front wheel units located at left and right sides of the vehicle body frame and including left and right front wheels, respectively, and a front-portion cover located on the vehicle body frame between the seat and the left and right front wheel units, for covering a front of a driver seated on the seat. The front-portion cover includes a light transmitting part that is made of a light transmissive material, and is so sized as to allow the driver seated on the seat to visually recognize therethrough at least a part of the left front wheel unit and at least a part of the right front wheel unit when the leaning vehicle leans leftward or rightward.
Battery storage device of vehicle
A device includes a battery case (42) that stores a battery (62A or 62B), a lock mechanism (133) that is capable of fixing and holding the stored battery (62A or 62B) in the battery case (42), and an operation member (44) that is capable of performing switching operation of the lock mechanism (133) between a battery-fixed state and a non-battery-fixed state. The lock mechanism (133) includes a movable block (160) which is supported by the battery case (42) in a displaceable manner. The movable block (160) has a battery restriction portion (160b or 160c) which restricts displacement of the battery (62A or 62B) in a separation direction in a state of being displaced to a battery fixing position, and a holding force receiving portion (160d) which receives a holding force for maintaining the movable block (160) at the battery fixing position from the operation member (44) in a state where the operation member (44) is operated within a predetermined positional range.
Creating easy-to-understand indications of a vehicle state
Presented here is a system and method for creating easy-to-understand notifications of the vehicle state. The notification can be visual or can be auditory and can indicate to the user the vehicle state even when the user's attention is directed elsewhere. The indication can serve to attract the user's attention before more involved information is presented to the user, such as text, or the indication can serve to communicate to the user the vehicle state in an easy-to-understand way such as using color-coded displays or audio indications. The intensity of the indication can be adjusted based on the likelihood that indication will be perceived by the user by, for example, measuring ambient light and/or ambient noise. Reducing the intensity of the indication conserves energy of an energy source associated with the vehicle.
