Systems and methods for configuring personal mobility vehicle brakes based on location

The disclosed method may include configuring one or more brakes based on a braking-related attribute expected at a geographic location being traversed by a personal mobility vehicle. By configuring the application of brakes of a personal mobility vehicle based on terrain, environmental conditions, and other geographic features, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels based at least in part on the location of the personal mobility vehicle. By configuring brake engagement based on a combination of controls and map data, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

Foldable Cargo Trike with Anti-Tip Braking System and Alternative Drive Configurations
20260021862 · 2026-01-22 ·

A foldable cargo trike equipped with at least four drive train configurations and an advanced stability control system (herein referred to as the 'trike) is disclosed. A first embodiment features a frame-mounted drive motor with a mechanical differential for the rear two wheels. A second embodiment utilizes an electronic differential with dual, independently-controlled hub motors on each rear wheel. In this embodiment, each drive motor is dynamically-adjusted by artificial intelligence algorithms. These algorithms analyze user driving habits and enable the trike to adapt in real-time for improved performance and safety. These first two embodiments have an anti-tip braking system controlled by two front-mounted sensors to detect lateral tilt or roll conditions and automatically applying braking to prevent tipping. A third embodiment includes two, frame-mounted electric motors connected to each wheel. A fourth embodiment includes a frame-mounted, electric drive motor having a planetary gear set which mimics a conventional differential.
