Steering assemblies for multi-wheeled vehicles and multi-wheeled vehicles including the steering assemblies

Multi-wheeled vehicles, such as scooters, may include a body, a rear wheel, and a steering assembly. The steering assembly may include a steering shaft, a wheel support chassis, a first front wheel, and a second front wheel. The wheel support chassis is pivotally coupled to the steering shaft for rotation about a chassis pivot axis. The first and second front wheels are rotatingly coupled to the wheel support chassis about respective rotational axes. The second front wheel is at least substantially inline with the first front wheel and located closer to the rear wheel than the first front wheel when the steering shaft is in a forward straight orientation.

VEHICLE STEERING HEAD

A tricycle having limited steering includes a front wheel mounted to a lower end of a wheel fork. A support tube is connected to a frame. A projection limits rotational movement of the front wheel.

Personal mobility apparatus

A personal mobility apparatus includes: a support platform having a pair of footplates and a cavity; two drive wheels disposed on both sides of the support platform, respectively; and a steering wheel connected to the support platform to be received in the cavity. The steering wheel is connected through a telescopic tube to be received in the cavity of the support platform and the telescopic tube includes a first tube and a second tube moving telescopically with respect to the first tube.

STEERING ASSEMBLY FOR MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLES

A micromobility transit vehicle may include a steering assembly. The steering assembly may include a fork, a steer tube, a stiffening brace, and a stem. The steer tube may extend from the fork and be positioned to rotate within a headtube. The stiffening brace may extend from the fork and be positioned about the headtube. The stiffening brace may include a first engagement surface. The stem may be coupled to the steer tube and the stiffening brace to secure the steering assembly to the headtube. The stem may include a second engagement surface complementary to the first engagement surface and engaged with the first engagement surface to rotationally lock the stem and stiffening brace together.

Adjustable system for stabilizing a bicycle
11312437 · 2022-04-26 ·

A light weight, automatic release, variably adjustable bicycle stabilizer is disclosed. The invention is comprised of five main parts: a first part being an adjustable, pivoting, slightly flexible u-shaped fork that stabilizes the wheel; a second part being an anchor bracket; a third part being a down tube stabilizer; a fourth part being a compression band; and a fifth part being an onboard, LED, safety light. The invention is selectively affixed to the underside of a bicycle frame. The anchor is disposed on the down tube and the slightly flexible u-shaped fork wheel stabilizer swings out from said anchor and grabs the front wheel preventing the wheel from turning and tipping the bike over. The end of each fork is wider on the inside. This stops the bicycle from rolling backward when parked on an incline.

SCOOTER

A dual-pedal driven scooter includes a frame having a front end and a rear end. Front wheels and a rear wheel that are connected to the frame at the front end and the rear end, respectively. A transmission mechanism is configured to drive the rear wheel to thereby drive the scooter. A pedal is configured to drive the scooter wherein. The transmission mechanism is provided with a transmission rope that links the pedal and the rear wheel. The pedal is fixedly connected to the transmission rope to thereby drive the rear wheel by pulling the transmission rope.

VEHICLE WITH SPHERICAL WHEELS
20230294786 · 2023-09-21 ·

A vehicle includes a frame, a front ground-engaging sphere, a rear ground-engaging sphere, and gripping portions for a rider to hold. The front sphere is rotatable about a first axis which is transverse and fixed relative to the frame and the rear sphere is rotatable about a plurality of axes. The vehicle also includes a support, which is connected pivotally to a rear portion of the frame. The rear sphere is connected to the support for rotation about a second axis which is transverse and fixed relative to the support. The support is pivotal with respect to the frame about a third axis which extends downwardly and longitudinally of the vehicle, such that the support is pivotable through a range of positions including a neutral position wherein the first and second axes are parallel. The vehicle further includes a resilient biasing mechanism configured to resiliently bias the support towards the neutral position.
