A tandem rider device and method of use for maintaining three planes of stability, elimination of interference and steering is presented. In particular, the present invention relates to devices and mechanisms, which when connected to the three planes of stability, vertical, horizontal and axial, between two duplicate personal transportation devices or between the transportation device and another device including structural stability elements provide for the following three enhancements. Provide tracking wheels, levers, springs and pedals for interference elimination devices allowing removal of tracking wheel interferences when two devices are connected together. Providing steering mechanism used for steering two duplicate personal transportation devices or steering the transportation device and another device when the tandem rider device is placed on a suitable surface other than parallel tracks. Providing a plurality of assemblies, that when such assemblies are removed, allow engagement of the steering mechanism when the transportation devices are removed from parallel tracks.

A kit for an electric cycle includes a powertrain module including a case, a battery disposed in the case, an electric motor in communication with the battery and disposed in the case, and a connecting port on the case. The kit includes a first module including a frame member configured to releasably engage the connecting port and a wheel rotatably connected to the frame member, a second module including a frame member configured to releasably engage the connecting port, and a releasable locking feature on the connecting port.
