A driving device for use in a hub assembly includes a stationary ring, a connecting seat and a pawl unit, all of which surround an axis. The stationary ring has a plurality of angularly spaced-apart ratchet grooves that are symmetric. The connecting seat has a sprocket and at least one connecting portion, both of which are arranged along the axis. The pawl unit includes a ring-shaped coupling seat that is removably sleeved on the connecting seat and that has at least one coupling portion engaging removably the at least one connecting portion, and a plurality of angularly spaced-apart retaining grooves, each retaining a pawl and a resilient member for engaging a corresponding one of the ratchet grooves of the stationary ring.

A ride-on vehicle, such as for a child, includes a vehicle body and one or more wheels that support the vehicle body relative to a surface. At least one of the wheels includes a hub motor arrangement that provides a drive torque for propelling the vehicle. The hub motor arrangement includes a housing defining an interior space. An axle or other mounting element(s) define an axis of rotation of the housing. Preferably, the axle or other mounting element(s) do not pass completely through the housing. A motor drives the housing through a transmission. Preferably, the motor is a standard, compact motor that is positioned on the axis of rotation and can be laterally offset from a central plane of the housing. In some embodiments, a traction element is carried directly by the housing.

Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods for a bead lock wheel line in scaled vehicles. The bead lock wheel line may include a wheel center section and a bead lock ring. The bead lock ring may be configured to be overlaid on the wheel center section, wherein screws may be inserted through orifices positioned within the bead lock ring and into orifices positioned on the wheel center section.

A motorized vehicle assembly includes an axle comprising a channel extending along a central axis of the axle, a socket positioned within the channel of the axle, and a motorized wheel configured to be mounted on an end the axle. The motorized wheel includes a boss configured to engage the end of the axle when the motorized wheel is mounted on the axle, an electric motor, a tire mounted on the rotor, and a plug positioned within the boss, the plug configured to engage with the socket when the motorized wheel is mounted on the axle. The electric motor includes a stator fixed to the boss and a rotor surrounding the stator, the rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator. The electric motor is configured to cause the rotor to rotate relative to the stator to cause the tire to rotate.

A self-propelled device is disclosed that includes a center of mass drive system. The self-propelled device includes a substantially cylindrical body and wheels, with each wheel having a diameter substantially equivalent to the body. The self-propelled device may further include an internal drive system with a center of mass below a rotational axis of the wheels. Operation and maneuvering of the self-propelled device may be performed via active displacement of the center of mass.

A child drift car comprises a car frame, a wheel assembly, a seat, a driving mechanism and a direction control mechanism; the wheel assembly comprises a driving wheel assembly, and the driving wheel assembly comprises driving wheels, and an axle fixedly connected to the driving wheels; the driving mechanism comprises a driver and a transmission device; the direction control mechanism comprises a steering column, a steering wheel fixedly connected to the steering column, and a steering device separately connected to the steering column and the driving wheel assembly; the driving mechanism further comprises a main shaft rotatably disposed on the car frame along its own axis and driven by the transmission device to rotate, and the main shaft is connected to the axle through a universal joint. When the driving wheels turn, the speed of the driving wheels is not affected, and a higher drifting speed can be achieved.

An animal toy includes an elongated body portion having a first end and a second end. A first wheel is disposed on a first rotating member adjacent the first end, the first rotating member extending in a first direction, the first wheel having a first opening disposed in the first direction. A second wheel is disposed on a second rotating member adjacent the second end, the second axle extending in a second axial direction, the second wheel having a second opening disposed in the second direction. A first electric motor is configured to drive the first wheel. The second electric motor is configured to drive second wheel independently. A controller is programmed to control the first electric motor to control the rotational direction of the first wheel and control the second electric motor to control the rotational direction of the second wheel.

Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods for a bead lock wheel line in scaled vehicles. The bead lock wheel line may include a wheel center section and a bead lock ring. The bead lock ring may be configured to be overlaid on the wheel center section, wherein screws may be inserted through orifices positioned within the bead lock ring and into orifices positioned on the wheel center section.

A miniature vehicle includes a chassis frame, front and rear wheel assemblies operatively coupled at front and rear ends of the chassis frame respectively, a motorized assembly supported on the chassis frame to power the rear wheel assembly, and a foot steering arrangement operatively coupled to the front wheel assembly. Therefore, the user is able to control the miniature vehicle by the feet of the user to precisely steer and control the miniature vehicle.

A torque stick apparatus for driving a personal transporter across a transport surface by positioning the torque stick apparatus against a drive surface is described. The torque stick apparatus includes a tubular housing, throttle control, battery pack, motor coupled to a wheel, and motor controller. The motor controller is coupled to the motor, the battery pack, and the throttle control. The motor controller determines whether to select regenerative braking mode based at least in part on the position of the throttle control. The motor controller supplies power from the battery pack to the motor in accordance with the throttle control when regenerative braking mode is not selected. The motor controller provides power from the motor to the battery pack when regenerative braking is selected. The battery pack and the motor controller are contained within the housing.
