The present specification discloses wheel mounts for personal vehicles, such as skateboards and scooters. Wheel mount embodiments disclosed herein provide for the interchangeable mounting of wheels having differently shaped wheel cores. The present invention allows users to forego the previous limitation of having a specific wheel mount that only provides for the mounting a specific wheel having one specific wheel core geometry. Embodiments can be utilized on motorized personal vehicles, such as motorized skateboards and scooters that utilize various motors, such as direct drive or belt drive motors.

The invention is directed to a graspable human propulsion device comprising a primary pole, a lateral pole affixed to the fore end of the primary pole, and a ducted fan assembly affixed to one end the primary pole and configured to accelerate airflow along the longitudinal axis of the primary pole. A user wields the graspable human propulsion device by grasping the primary pole with a first hand and the lateral pole with a second hand. The graspable human propulsion device acts to propel the user along the direction in which the longitudinal axis of the primary pole is pointed. This device is intended to be utilized by a user mounted on a personal transportation apparatus, such as a skateboard. In one embodiment the user controls the amount of thrust by use of a throttle lever mechanism. In another embodiment the user controls the direction and amount of thrust by use of a knobbed slide potentiometer. In a third embodiment the user controls the direction and amount of thrust by use of a twist throttle mechanism. The graspable human propulsion device of the present invention provides a conveniently balanced, easily wielded, and enjoyable propulsive experience for the user.

A personal transport includes a deck configured for supporting a rider in a standing position. At least one wheel assembly is mounted on a bottom surface of the deck, the, or each, wheel assembly having at least one wheel so that the deck can travel over a substrate. An operator handle is substantially rigidly mounted on a rear end of the deck and extends rearwardly from the deck so that an operator, standing on the substrate, can grasp the operator handle and push the apparatus along the substrate, or tilt the apparatus relative to the substrate, while the rider is supported on the deck. A rider handle mounted on one of the deck and the operator handle and positioned so that the rider can grasp the rider handle for balance while supported by the deck.

The present invention provides a portable gyroscopic device for the transportation of objects or individuals which comprises: a portable receptacle (A) which comprises: a frame (1) on which an axis (3) of a gyroscopic element comprising one or more masses or flywheel units (2) is mounted; at least one electric motor (8) which actuates at least one mass or flywheel unit of said gyroscopic element mentioned, a source of electric power (5); and electronic control means (6) to operate said electric motor. Besides, the invention provides a set of portable gyroscopic device and accessories for the transportation of objects or individuals which comprises the portable gyroscopic device according to claims 1 to 1 and a transportation platform (11) which comprises elements for the transportation of said platform which are selected between mechanical bearings, drones, an air cushion and an electromagnetic field.

There is provided a system for mounting accessories on skateboards including a mounting baseplate having at least two mounting holes, a receiving port formed by a first support and a second support, wherein the second support includes a retention element, the supports extending from the second side of the mounting baseplate, the receiving port angled at a mounting angle, a securing element extending through the first support and the second support and engaging the retention element, and an accessory housing including an accessory body housing an accessory, and a mounting element extending from the accessory body, the accessory housing connected to the mounting baseplate by the mounting element engaged with the receiving port and secured in place by the securing element, and wherein the receiving port is oriented at the mounting angle to allow engagement of the accessory housing without interference from a truck mounting hardware.

A back board and a method of holding a skateboard on a person's back are described. A back board can include a magnet infused skateboard or a magnet mounting assembly, attached to a skateboard. A back-mounted magnet infused holster, wherein, wearing the back-mounted magnet infused holster under or over clothing, the first magnet in or on the skateboard is configured so that together with the second magnet in the holster, the skateboard will hold to the back of ones back when placed.

A skateboard has a platform that extends longitudinally from a first end to a second end, the first and second ends being separated by a central portion. The platform body is formed so that the platform is laterally planar, and longitudinally bent upwardly at the first end, and bent downwardly at the second end, relative to the central portion. A first truck mounting structure is provided adjacent the first end, and a second truck mounting structure is provided adjacent the second end.

A personal transport includes a deck configured for supporting a rider in a standing position. At least one wheel assembly is mounted on a bottom surface of the deck, the, or each, wheel assembly having at least one wheel so that the deck can travel over a substrate. An operator handle is substantially rigidly mounted on a rear end of the deck and extends rearwardly from the deck so that an operator, standing on the substrate, can grasp the operator handle and push the apparatus along the substrate, or tilt the apparatus relative to the substrate, while the rider is supported on the deck. A rider handle mounted on one of the deck and the operator handle and positioned so that the rider can grasp the rider handle for balance while supported by the deck.

In an aspect, a powered vehicle is provided, and includes a body to support a rider. At least one wheel is rotatably coupled to the body to enable travel of the body over a travel surface. At least one motor is coupled to at least one of the at least one wheel to drive rotation thereof. A power source is coupled to the at least one motor to power the at least one motor. A remote sensor unit is wearable by the rider and configured to detect at least one of an orientation, a position, and movement of the rider and transmit sensor data generated therefrom. A motor control unit is coupled to the at least one motor and is configured to receive the sensor data and control the operation of the at least one motor based at least in part on the sensor data.

A quick install skateboard hanging device designed to lower damage to the wall, the skateboard deck, and the graphic design on the skateboard deck. The hanger is configured to allow small adjustments to the positioning after the first installation. Hanger device includes a base, a set of pins, and a set of adhesive or hook and loop strips for attaching the base to the wall. In one embodiment, the device has a cradle and a ball adapter, wherein the ball adapter is attached to the base and the cradle is removably fastened to the ball adapter, the ball adapter is positioned between the base and the cradle, wherein clamps of the cradle are extendable to accommodate skateboard of different sizes.
