A system includes a support structure that includes a bottom surface and a connector plate pivotably connected to the bottom surface, and a device including a wheel, the device being releaseably connectable to the connector plate.

The invention relates to a scooter, comprising a standing surface (1), at least one rear wheel (2) articulated to the standing surface (1), and at least one front wheel (3) articulated to the standing surface (1), which scooter can be moved in a direction of travel, wherein the scooter also comprises an element (5) that is connected in an articulated manner to or can be attached to the standing surface (1), which element (5) can be transferred from a first position (6) as a seat element to a second position (7) as a holding bar for a person standing on the standing surface (1), wherein, in the case of use, the scooter can be moved in the same movement direction (20) in the case of a first position (6) of the element (5) and in the case of a second position (7) of the element (5).

A self-balancing vehicle includes a vehicle body having a housing with a top cover and a bottom cover. It includes a unitary support bar disposed between the top and bottom covers, about which the top and bottom covers are mounted, and which extends entirely along the top and bottom covers between opposed left and right ends of the unitary support bar. The vehicle includes a left drive wheel and an opposed right drive wheel, each indirectly coupled to the unitary support bar. The vehicle further includes a battery electrically coupled to the left and right drive wheels, wherein the battery includes a central depression receiving the unitary support bar and spacing apart two opposed lobes of the battery about the unitary support bar.

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.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide an electric vehicle and a method for controlling the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes at least one electric motorized wheel to drive the electric vehicle; a pressure sensor module configured to detect pressure on the electric vehicle; a communication interface configured to receive remote instructions from a remote controller; and a central controller configured to operate the at least one electric motorized wheel in a control mode based on at least one of the received remote instructions and the pressure.

In an aspect, a tire for use with a single wheel, self-balancing vehicle is provided. The tire has a tire body with a tread configured for engagement with a ground surface. The tread has a lateral profile having a central region, a first lateral region tapering towards a first lateral side of the tire, and a second lateral region tapering towards a second lateral side of the tire. The lateral profile is substantially free of discontinuity. The tread has a non-directional tread groove arrangement that is asymmetrical about a central circumference line of the tire. The tire has a hardness selected to substantially prevent deformation of the first profile and the second profile during riding by a rider.

A one-wheeled vehicle may comprise a board including first and second deck portions each configured to receive a left or right foot of a rider oriented generally perpendicular to a direction of travel of a board, and a pair of side rails, each of which are coupled to the first and second deck portions at distal ends. A top surface of each side rail defines a generally concave shape, such that a plane connecting distal edges of the end portions of the side rail is spaced apart from the central portion of the side rail. In some examples, a bottom surface of each side rail also defines a generally concave-upward shape. In some examples, a bottom surface of each side rail includes a central cutout.

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 mobility device is provided and includes a base panel that supports a passenger. A plurality of wheels are disposed at a plurality of points of the base panel and are coupled to the base panel to be rotated with respect to a vertical axis. A rotary portion provides a rotational force to rotate the wheel with respect to the base panel. Additionally, a braking portion is disposed on the rotary portion to adjust the plurality of wheels to be rotated with respect to the base panel or positions of the plurality of wheels to be fixed.

In an aspect, a tire for use with a single wheel, self-balancing vehicle is provided. The tire has a tire body with a tread configured for engagement with a ground surface. The tread has a lateral profile having a central region, a first lateral region tapering towards a first lateral side of the tire, and a second lateral region tapering towards a second lateral side of the tire. The lateral profile is substantially free of discontinuity. The tread has a non-directional tread groove arrangement that is asymmetrical about a central circumference line of the tire. The tire has a hardness selected to substantially prevent deformation of the first profile and the second profile during riding by a rider.
