A personal mobility vehicle, such as a scooter, includes at least one battery and motor for powering at least one driven wheel. The vehicle also includes a braking assembly configured to isolate the motor from the at least one driven wheel such that power is terminated from the motor to the at least one wheel in response to a user engaging a braking assembly of the vehicle. The vehicle can include a switch or position sensor that interacts with the braking assembly to initiate the isolation of the motor from the at least one driven wheel and the switch or position sensor preferably is inaccessible to the foot of the user.

A pedal connection mechanism includes a left and a right pedal, and a transverse connecting member. The first cylindrical shaft is provided along the bottom of the left pedal. The left side of the top wall of the transverse connecting member is provided with the first support member. The second cylindrical shaft is provided along the bottom of the right pedal. The right side of the top wall of the transverse connecting member is provided with the second support member. The present invention further provides an electric balancing vehicle using this pedal connection mechanism. The left pedal and the right pedal are not connected with each other through an intermediate shaft. Their motion statuses are controlled respectively by the left foot and the right foot independently. The transverse connecting member shares the weight of a human body. The force distributes evenly. The balancing vehicle is flexible and durable.
