Training Wheel System
A training wheel system is provided that can improve packaging, shipping, and installation. The training wheel system includes a bracket for maintaining the orientation of a training wheel arm. In one form, the bracket can nest within a channel of a portion of the training wheel arm.
Wheelchair frame assembly
A wheelchair frame assembly for a self-balancing board. The wheelchair frame assembly is mountable to the self-balancing board. The self-balancing board includes at least one gyroscopic assembly and includes two wheels on opposing ends of an axle, controlled by two upper surfaces that independently pivot about the axle. Independent pivoting of each of the two upper surfaces controls a speed of an adjacent wheel, and a direction of the self-balancing board. The wheelchair frame assembly includes a seat, a footrest, a forward caster wheel, a rearward caster wheel, a left handlebar, and a right handlebar. The handlebars interface with the two upper surfaces to enable an individual seated in the wheelchair frame assembly to control speed and direction of the self-balancing board by moving the handlebars, thereby pivoting the two upper surfaces and causing the two wheels to independently rotate.
STABILIZING DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to a stabilizing device for a vehicle. More particularly, but not exclusively, to a device to prevent unstable condition and a tip over for a two-wheeled vehicle, such as a motorcycle or the like. The stabilizing device comprises of a fixing unit, a first slidable unit, a second slidable unit, a first support arm, a second support arm, a wheel and a control unit. The stabilizing device of the present disclosure provides a cost-effective, rapidly acting, customizable, reliable and fully automatic solution for balancing the vehicle.

NOSE-DIVE PREVENTION DEVICE FOR A ONE-WHEELED TRANSPORATION DEVICE
A nose-dive prevention device for a one-wheeled motorized transportation device is disclosed, which has wheels that strike the ground in the event of a nose-dive situation, instead of the bumper, which could otherwise become abruptly hung and thus throw the rider. The nose-dive prevention device has a base for attachment to the front of the one-wheeled motorized transportation device, and one or more wheels connected to and extending from the base. The wheels are positioned to interpose between the front end of the one-wheeled motorized transportation device and the ground and contact the ground when the front end exceeds a nose-dive angle. However, under normal riding conditions, the wheels are spaced above the ground at a height sufficient to allow normal angular variability of the riding platform needed for control of the one-wheeled motorized device.
Scooter driven by an electric motor for transporting persons and method for operating a scooter
A scooter, which is driven by an electric motor, for transporting persons, includes an electric drive motor and a standing platform. A front wheel is arranged along a center axis of the standing platform. A steering rod is coupled to the front wheel. Handlebars pivot the front wheel about a rotational axis, which is formed by the steering rod. Two rear wheels are at a spacing from the front wheel and are each arranged laterally offset with respect to the center axis. A feed-through aperture, which is preferably completely closed circumferentially and is passed through by the steering rod, or in which the front wheel sits, is incorporated into the standing platform. The front wheel is flanked on both sides in each case by at least one support element which projects from an underside of the standing platform that faces an underlying surface.

SWITCHABLE SIDE SUPPORT DEVICE FOR CYCLES AND USE THEREOF AND METHOD FOR COUPLING THE SIDE SUPPORT DEVICE TO A DRIVE TRACTION MEANS OF THE CYCLE
When riding or parking cycles, a support aid is expedient in many situations. Side supports for cycles, configured for permanently mounting on the cycle and for laterally supporting the cycle when stationary with or without a rider, or during riding, have at least one side stand mechanism (13) with at least one supporting wheel (13.9), which supporting wheel can be positioned in at least one height position. According to the invention, the side support device is switchable and has a gear device (14) which is coupled to the supporting wheel and is configured for positioning the supporting wheel in at least two height positions comprising at least one extended supporting height position and at least one retracted height position for support-free riding with the cycle. Robustness and flexibility can thereby be especially ensured. The invention also relates to the use of individual components of the side support device and to a method for coupling the side support device to a drive traction means of the cycle.

TRAINING WHEELS FOR BICYCLE
A bicycle training wheel assembly that allows riders to lean from side to side, thereby enabling the rider to practice balancing skills. The bicycle training wheel assembly has adjustable maximum tilt settings that train the rider in increments as they learn to balance on a bicycle. An omnidirectional wheel accommodates lateral rotational components to prevent skidding of the wheel when the bicycle is tilted towards or away from a training wheel assembly.
