A scooter includes a front platform and a driver platform rotatably connected to each other and each having a planar surface. Wheels are rotatably connected to the front platform and the driver platform, and a motor is in at least one of the wheels. The front platform and the driver platform are relatively rotatable between a stowed position in which the planar surfaces are in separate planes and a cargo position in which the planar surfaces are coplanar.

A method for operating an industrial truck having three wheels. During longitudinal travel, two steerable wheels run in succession in a first lane, and a third wheel runs in a second lane. The third wheel initially runs on an inside during a turning in while cornering until the industrial truck, during a further turning in, transitions into a revolving motion. The method includes reducing a drive power as of a specific steering angle during the turning in prior to the revolving motion, and disengaging or reversing a direction of a drive rotation of the third wheel after a delay time which begins with the reducing of the drive power, or, continuously reducing the drive power from the specific steering angle during the further turning in, and disengaging or reversing the direction of rotation of the third wheel when transitioning into the revolving motion.

A front suspension wheel for mobile robotic devices that can be compressed into or decompressed out of a main body of a mobile robotic device to facilitate driving the mobile robotic device over obstacles, thresholds and the like. The wheel will provide the mobile robotic device with information such as how fast the wheel is traveling. The wheel is easily removable by hand by the user.

This invention relates to a tilting mechanism for wheeled vehicles such as bicycles both electrical and manually powered, motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and the like. The wheeled vehicle, preferably with three wheels or more, driving like a 2-in-line vehicle and handles the same way in the turns and when driving straight. The tilting mechanism for a multiple wheeled vehicle, comprising a tilting mechanism that allows for leaning body and wheels into a turn and independent adjustment of the turning radius, while inducing an effect to the two front wheels similar to Ackerman steering compensation. The principle of the tilting mechanism is a parallelogram structure, which comprises a top rod, a bottom rod and a pair of connecting rods, pivotally connected to each other. To each of the connecting rods a pair of steering elements is pivotally connected and on two steering elements a pair of wheels is connected.

An autonomous tilting three-wheeled vehicle comprises a pair of front wheels coupled to a tiltable chassis by a mechanical linkage, such that the pair of wheels and the chassis are configured to tilt in unison with respect to a roll axis of the chassis. An electronic controller of the autonomous vehicle controls a tilt actuator to selectively tilt the chassis. Optionally, a steering actuator is coupled to the front wheels and controlled by the electronic controller to selectively steer the wheels. A sensor configured to measure orientation-dependent information may be coupled to the chassis by a gimbal configured to compensate for vehicle tilt. In some examples, the autonomous vehicle comprises an autonomous delivery robot.

A synchronous steering vehicle body includes wheels, a cab and a steering mechanism for driving the wheels and the cab to synchronously steer, steering center axes of the wheels are vertical to rotation center axes of the wheels, and the wheels are vertical to the center of the horizontal ground to be concentric to the steering center axes of the wheels, and the steering motions of the wheels and the cab are kept synchronous. The disclosure provides a synchronous steering vehicle body capable of directly achieving the synchronous steering of the wheels and the cab.
