A self-propelled skateboard with at least one front wheel, a rear wheel, and a board, that is propelled without the rider's foot touching the ground. A driving force is generated the rider's weight is continuously shifted up and down in synchrony with the rocking motion of the eccentrically mounted rear wheel, which causes the board to be repeatedly pushed down and bounced back. Mounting multiple axles and one-way sprag clutch bearings on the rear wheel allows the rider to propel the board up inclined surfaces and to stop his/her motion and rest on the board, yet keep the skateboard continuously running.

High W-Heels are stylish mobility devices, worn on each foot designed left and right, combining wheeled chassis below attached to fashionable boot above. Their unique three wheeled chassis design, featuring two same sized smaller diameter wheels in front (attached by axle) and a single larger diameter (high) wheel in the back, forms a triangle which provides the user the desirable combined stability of roller skates with the agility of roller blades. This forward leaning (high wheel) design aids momentum and promotes good posture while offering the renowned fashion of a stylish high-heeled demi-boot.

A bifurcated truck in a laterally-sliding board wheel assembly enables the freeboard to seamlessly transition from carvingas associated with a traditional skateboardto new omnidirectional motions, in which the board can easy travel forward, backwards, sideways or in any other directional combination. The wheel assembly of this invention employs a bifurcated truck system having two independent suspension arms, both operating independently from one another and from the board's castering wheels. The wheel assemblies are mirrored at each longitudinal end of the board, resulting in the board's ability to carve, slide or skidand easily transition back and forth among each of these modesproviding the rider a sense of stability and freedom commonly associated only with snowboarding.

A wearable mobility device comprising a base for the placement of a shoe, the base including a heel-support section, a battery pack, a tail reflector, and a wireless receiver. The device including a first wheel having a wheel hub motor embedded therein, the motor rotatably connected to a first partial axial shaft connected to the base. The device including a second wheel having a wheel hub motor controller embedded therein, the motor controller rotatably connected to a second partial axial shaft connected to the base and operative to control a speed of rotation of the first wheel and the second wheel. The device also including a remote control for controlling the speed of rotation of the first wheel and the second wheel, the remote control operative to transmit one or more control signals to the wireless receiver, the wireless receiver being electrically coupled to the motor controller.

Various powered mobility systems for users are described. The powered mobility system can include at least one powered skate. The powered skate can include a platform, a plurality of wheels, and a motor assembly. The motor assembly can include a motor. The motor can be powered by a power supply. A motor control can be implemented to determine when power is supplied to the motor from the power supply.

A powered two-wheel vehicle includes a chassis extending between a rotatable front fork and a fixed rear fork. A deck is attached to the chassis to enclose a compartment. A front wheel is rotatably attached to the front fork and a rear wheel is rotatably attached to the rear fork via a hub motor. The steering assembly includes a head tube supported above and in front of the deck by a pair of arched frame tubes, a steering tube rotatably connected to the head tube, and a rotational damper connected between the head tube and the steering tube.

A wheel assembly comprises a wheel, a transmission assembly mounted on the wheel, and a motor coupled to the wheel through the transmission assembly. The motor includes an axle extending in a radial direction of the wheel. The transmission assembly transmits a rotational motion of the axle to a rotational motion of the wheel.

A side-by-side pair of platforms, each equipped with a foot-pad, are coupled in a manner to form a vehicle, and are supported (a) at the rear by a truck-mount under each platform, integrated with a shared axle assembly fitted at its ends with a pair of rear wheels, located at opposite sides of the vehicle, and (b) at the front by a tilt-turn mount system including at least one front wheel, typically a caster-mounted roller, accomplishing dual-platform tilt-turning in response to the user's body movements simulating superior snow-skiing techniques, thus enabling sustained self-propulsion by user body movements and providing recreation, training and practice for skiers of all ages and skill levels.
