The disclosure relates to a skateboard and control method thereof. A skateboard deck is fixed on an axle of the skateboard, and a first sensor group and a second sensor group are sequentially arranged on the skateboard deck in a width direction. The method includes acquiring a first pressure value of the first sensor group and a second pressure value of the second sensor group; controlling the skateboard to turn to a first direction when the first pressure value is greater than the second pressure value and a difference value between the first pressure value and the second pressure value is greater than a first threshold, and controlling the skateboard to turn to a second direction when the second pressure value is greater than the first pressure value and a difference value between the second pressure value and the first pressure value is greater than a second threshold.

A self-balancing vehicle includes a vehicle body having a housing with left and right sides which are independently moveable. A unitary support bar is disposed within the housing, and a left drive wheel and an opposed right drive wheel are each coupled to the support bar. A bracket encircles the support bar; the bracket has a cylindrical body formed with a slot through the body. A set screw is fixed to the support bar and is received within the slot to limit rotational movement of the support bar with respect to the bracket.

The present invention relates to a drifting electric scooter and, more specifically, to a drifting electric scooter, wherein: a sensor unit is installed at a controller and the movement of a scooter is controlled according to the moving direction and angle of the controller, and thus a short control section for acceleration and stopping of a conventional electric scooter is widened, so that the problems, such as abrupt start and abrupt stop, of the conventional electric scooter can be solved; the drifting electric scooter allows riders to more precisely control the speed and enjoy riding such that the riders can easily and safely control acceleration and stopping by simple upward/downward movement of the controller; a human body detection sensor is attached to a handle portion of the controller, and thus the scooter stops to prevent malfunction of the scooter when the controller is separated from a user's hand, so that safety is ensured and thus safe riding is possible; and multiple switches for selecting various riding modes are installed at the controller, so that more pleasant and interesting riding than in conventional scooter riding is possible.

A roller board has axles provided with castors and secured at the front and rear ends of a board deck such that a steering movement is transferrable to the axles by a person on the board deck by lateral shifting of weight. Steerability and problem-free operation are improved. Substantially rigid booms, one directed to the front and one directed to the rear, are provided at the front and rear ends of the board deck, respectively. A support arm pointing in the direction of the central axis of the board deck is rigidly fastened to each boom. The support arms are pivotable on the two sides about a pivot axis inclined in the direction of travel by 40° to 50° relative to the plane of the board deck. The axle of a single castor is mounted rotatably in or on each hub, with the pivot joint inside the castor.

A skateboard truck that is adjusted for different amounts of torsional stiffness. The axle of the truck is tensioned to change the torsional stiffness of the truck. The truck includes a fork shaped structural arm having tongs on the distal end. The ends of the tongs include mounting for the axle which supports the wheels. The tension in the axle determines the amount of torsional stiffness. Additionally, the distance between the wheels is adjustable to affect the torsional stiffness.

A skateboard includes a deck, at least a front wheel set and a rear wheel set. The front wheel set, which is arranged at a bottom of the deck at a position close to a front end thereof, includes at least one rigid and rotatable front wheel frame and at least two front wheels. The rear wheel set, which is arranged at a bottom of the deck at a position close to the rear end thereof, includes at least one rigid and non-rotatable rear wheel frame and at least two rear wheels. The outer side of the wheel is circular or arc-shaped. The structure of the skateboard allows the user to change a center of gravity and to lift the sides of the board with foot, so as to only rely on the outer arc of the left or right front and rear wheels to slide, while the rotatable front wheel frame in the left or right side may still be utilized for rotating in the forward direction, which allows a skateboard experience of forward or changing the travelling direction.

A skateboard comprising a board including a front portion and a rear portion, the front and rear portions being disposed in a horizontal plane such that a uniform gap is formed there between; a front wheel assembly including a pair of wheels, the front wheel assembly being secured to a bottom surface of the front portion of the board; a rear wheel assembly including a pair of wheels, the rear wheel assembly being secured to a bottom surface of the rear portion of the board; and a steering control assembly secured to both the front portion and the rear portion of the board, wherein the steering control assembly is configured to allow pivotable movement of the front portion and the rear portion of the board about both a longitudinal center axis of the skateboard that lies in a horizontal plane and a vertical pivot axis that is transverse to the longitudinal center axis of the skateboard.

Apparatus and systems are provided that enhance the use of a one wheel skateboard. Some of the apparatus described provide lateral surfaces that engage outer portions of a user's feet. Other apparatus facilitate the engagement of common snowboard bindings to a one wheel skateboard, thereby widening the spectrum of tricks that can be performed.

A rotating wheel and a balance scooter are provided. The rotating wheel includes a motor and an acoustic unit. The motor includes a stator, a rotor sleeved on a periphery of the stator and rotatable relative to the stator, and a motor shaft passing through the stator and defining a motor hole penetrating through the motor shaft. The motor hole is configured to receive a power wire and an audio wire. The acoustic unit is arranged on the motor shaft and electrically connected to the power wire and the audio wire.

A motorized or non-motorized multi-wheeled skateboard assembly including a board deck to support the user, a board having a top side, a bottom side, a flat and a rounded end, linkages, hinges, a steered wheel assembly, an input device and a drive assembly. The steered wheel assembly improves maneuverability, turn radius, and stability. The user steers the skateboard assembly by altering pressure between the top side first end and the top side second end causing the steered wheel to turn, thus manually steering the board. This change in pressure is also altered between the first linkage and second linkage in direct or inverse relation to altering pressure between the top side first end and the top side second end of the board deck.
