A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle may include a suspension system configured to dampen up and down motion of a board relative to the axle of a central wheel assembly when the vehicle encounters obstacles and bumps on a riding surface. Illustrative suspension systems include a shock absorber, a rocker, a pushrod, bell cranks, and/or a swingarm that couple the axle to the board. The suspension system may be disposed completely below a foot deck of the vehicle.

A detachable modular electric skateboard which comprises a board body, wheel frames arranged at the bottom of the board body and provided with wheels driven by external force to travel together with the board body and the wheel frames, a traveling suspension part detachably installed at the end of the board body, and a power supply control part arranged at the bottom of the board body and provided with a detachably-installed battery assembly, and further discloses a remote control device for controlling the electric skateboard. Through the detachable traveling suspension part and the power supply control part, the advantages of existing electric skateboards and ordinary skateboards are integrated, a user can achieve the function switching according to requirements, and the detachable modular electric skateboard can replace daily vehicles driven by manpower and perfectly shows the recreational significance of ordinary skateboards serving as sports equipment.

The wheeled riding device employs a frame system mounted to the bottom of the deck, independent suspension links pivotally connect to the wheel assemblies enabling four wheel independent suspensions. A centrally mounted steering and suspension pivot, provides both steering control and suspension attachment for the shock and spring. The device is controlled by the rider using body movement, and a hand held remote when electrically driven. Whether manually or electrically propelled the invention brings improvements in both steering and ride stability while riding over adverse terrain.

An inline frame for an inline skate, designed to mimic the properties of an ice hockey skate blade on ice. The inline frame includes at least one first connection part intended to be connected to a boot and at least two wheels positioned essentially in the inline frame's longitudinal direction. The unique thing about the inline frame is that it includes an upper chassis section and a lower chassis section which via a coupling element are arranged to be rotatable in the inline frame's longitudinal direction, and that the upper chassis section includes at least one first contact surface and that the lower chassis section includes at least one second contact surface, where at least one of the first contact surface and the second contact surface is curvilinear.

Motorized skating systems and methods for controlling the systems are disclosed. One exemplary system may include a primary skate and a secondary skate. The primary skate may include a sensor configured to detect a tilting signal. The primary skate may also include a first processor. The processor may be configured to determine a first control signal for moving the primary skate based on the tilting signal and determine a motion signal for moving the secondary skate based on the first control signal. The primary skate may further include a first communication interface configured to send the motion signal to the secondary skate. The secondary skate may include a second communication interface configured to receive the motion signal from the first communication interface. The secondary skate may also include a second processor configured to determine a second control signal for moving the secondary skate based on the received motion signal.

The disclosed embodiments are directed to a transportation device, such as a skate. The transportation device may include a frame configured to support at least a portion of a user, and a support system configured to support the frame above the ground. The support system may include a first wheel connected to the frame, a second wheel connected to the frame, and a suspension system connected to the frame and positioned between the first and second wheel. The suspension system may include a rear wheel pivotally connected to a first portion of the frame, and a shock absorber connected between the rear wheel and a second portion of the frame. The shock absorber may be configured to dampen movement by the rear wheel with respect to the first portion of the frame.

A wearable motorized device comprising a shoe bracket, which can be fastened to a shoe; wheels that are installed on the left and right sides of the shoe bracket in parallel to support the wearer's lateral skating and longitudinal walking; a driving motor for rotationally driving the wheels; and a battery pack for powering the driving motor. The wheels are not coaxially installed on the two sides of the shoe bracket to drive the wearer's longitudinal skating, but instead are installed on the two sides of the shoe bracket in parallel to drive the wearer's lateral skating; the wearer can position his/her legs apart during skating, so the skating stability is improved. Its general contour does not significantly exceed the contour of the shoe in the longitudinal direction, thus and it will not strain the wearer when ascending or descending stairs.

A skateboard includes a deck, at least a front wheel set and a rear wheel set. The front wheel set, which is arranged at a bottom of the deck at a position close to a front end thereof, includes at least one rigid and rotatable front wheel frame and at least two front wheels. The rear wheel set, which is arranged at a bottom of the deck at a position close to the rear end thereof, includes at least one rigid and non-rotatable rear wheel frame and at least two rear wheels. The outer side of the wheel is circular or arc-shaped. The structure of the skateboard allows the user to change a center of gravity and to lift the sides of the board with foot, so as to only rely on the outer arc of the left or right front and rear wheels to slide, while the rotatable front wheel frame in the left or right side may still be utilized for rotating in the forward direction, which allows a skateboard experience of forward or changing the travelling direction.

Various implementations include a skateboard truck including a baseplate, a hanger, and a kingpin. The baseplate defines has a mounting surface. The hanger includes a main portion, a pivot pin, a first branch, and a second branch. The pivot pin is disposed within a pivot cup of the baseplate. The kingpin is disposed within openings in the baseplate and hanger. The branches each have curved longitudinal axes, a first portion coupled to the main portion, and a middle portion coupling the first and second portions. The second portion of each of the branches defines an axle opening. The first portion extends from the main portion toward the middle portion in a direction away from a mounting surface plane. The second portion extends from the middle portion in a direction toward the mounting surface plane. The first portions are closer to each other than the second portions are to each other.

A moving wheel platform that minimizes wheel interactions with noncontinuous and uneven surfaces. The platform provides rotation-inhibiting structures onto or into the moving wheel platforms that aids with eliminating wheel bite.
