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.

An off-road vehicle has two front wheels and two rear wheels, the rear wheels being connected to a spool gear driven by a motor. The vehicle also has a left front brake, a right front brake and a single rear brake. Speeds of left and right front wheels are respectively monitored by left and right front speed sensors. A single sensor monitors a common speed of left and right rear wheels. Two user actuated braking input devices, for example a hand lever and a foot lever, may be used independently or concurrently to provide a braking command. An anti-lock braking system may use speed measurements from the various speed sensors to control selective application of pressure on the left front brake, the right front brake and the rear brake.

The adjustable foot peg allows a rider to adjust the position of the foot peg in two ways. First, the bracket to which the foot peg attaches preferably includes a series of holes, about which the foot peg apparatus will rotate. Second, the foot peg is placed at the end of a rotating member, the rotating member able to be fixed at one of multiple possible angular positions.

The adjustable toe peg allows a rider to adjust the toe peg position in two ways. First, the lever to which the toe peg attaches preferably includes a series of holes, about which the toe peg apparatus will rotate. Second, by placing the toe peg on a rotating member, which is held by a clamping force, the toe peg can be positioned at any angle.

A saddle riding type vehicle in which a braking force adjustment device, a master cylinder and a reserve tank can be compactly arranged. In the saddle riding type vehicle having a braking force adjustment device that controls braking force of a vehicle wheel, a master cylinder for a rear wheel that outputs brake hydraulic pressure in response to operation of a brake pedal, and a reserve tank that stores brake fluid for the master cylinder for the rear wheel, in a vehicle side view, the reserve tank is disposed above the master cylinder for the rear wheel, and the braking force adjustment device is provided between the master cylinder for the rear wheel and the reserve tank.

Braking and centering mechanisms for foot-deck-based vehicles are described. At least one of the at least one rear wheel of the foot-deck-based vehicle is a braking wheel that is pivotally connected to the foot-deck for swivel movement about a rear swivel axis through a range of angular positions. The braking mechanism comprises a brake member coupled to the rear end of the foot-deck. The brake member is configured to move between a braking position in which the brake member is depressed towards the braking wheel and drives a brake surface to a frictionally engaging position at which the brake surface frictionally engages the braking wheel to reduce a speed of the foot-deck-based vehicle regardless of the angular position of the braking wheel within the range, and a non-braking position in which the brake member permits movement of the brake surface away from the braking wheel.
