A scooter includes a scooter body with substantially triangular front and rear body portions. The substantially triangular front body portion has a front side and a first connecting side. The front side and the first connecting side of the front body portion form a first acute angle. The substantially triangular rear body portion has a rear side and a second connecting side. The rear side and the second connecting side of the rear body portion form a second acute angle. The first and the second connecting sides are connected so as to linearly slide with respect to one another such that when the scooter body is in an extended state the front side is in a greater distance from the rear side than a distance when the scooter body is in a compact state.

In some embodiments, a docking station includes a scooter locking section that allows the electric scooter to be removed from the docking station when the electric scooter is in a non-rotated orientation and prevents the electric scooter to be removed from the docking station when the electric scooter is in a rotated orientation.

Systems and methods for illuminating an electric scooter are described. The systems and methods generate randomized patterns of lights based on movement of the electric scooter, such as in response to vibrations or other forces applied to the electric scooter as it travels through an environment. For example, the systems and methods can receive movement data from one or more vibration sensors of the electric scooter, generate a continuous wave pattern based on the movement data, and cause lighting devices (e.g., addressable LEDs (light emitting diodes)) to emit light in response to the continuous wave pattern. The resulting light, in some cases, is an ever-changing pattern of light and intensity.

Systems and methods for collecting electric scooters are described herein. In some embodiments, the systems and methods facilitate a “snaking” configuration of attaching, coupling, or fixing multiple electric scooters to one another. The snaking configuration enables multiple electric scooters to be collected together and moved to various locations, such as locations where the electric scooters can be rented, serviced, and so on. Further, the systems and methods enable any electric scooter to act as a collecting scooter, and thus a scooter share service or other fleet of scooters can manage the collection and provisioning of scooters in a location without special vehicles or equipment, among other benefits.

A mobility device includes a sidecar and a tilting vehicle including a two-wheeled bicycle, and may further include: an articulated link member including multiple link arms configured to link a vehicle body of the tilting vehicle and a body of the sidecar. In particular, linkage movements of the respective multiple link arms provide upward and downward movements, and leftward and rightward tiltings of the sidecar when a center of gravity of the vehicle body moves leftward and rightward.

A walker-shaped hoverboard attachment provides a center platform having a cavity and a rim around the cavity configured to rest on either side of a hoverboard's upper surface. Support rails and crossbars collectively configured as a walker may be fixedly connected to the platform. One or more brakes on one or more grips may enable a user to control the hoverboard while a user is standing on the platform.

A transportation robot may comprise a base attached to a carriage. The base comprises a motor-assisted vehicle for transporting a first payload. The base automatically performs self-balancing functions during operation and rotates around a base axis of rotation. The carriage unit comprises a mechanical extension that is attached to the base for transporting a second payload that is different than the first payload. The carriage rotates around a carriage axis of rotation. The carriage includes a set of carriage connections configured to attach the carriage to the base so that the carriage axis of rotation is substantially collinear with the base axis of rotation. A carriage connection may include supplementary elements that enable the robot to operate properly in both first and second states (user is on or off the base) without requiring re-configuration of the carriage connection. The supplementary elements may include a resistance element and/or a damping element.
