Disclosed is a self-balancing vehicle including a left housing assembly, a right housing assembly, a left wheel train, a right wheel train and a rotation mechanism. The left wheel train is connected with the left housing assembly. The first end of the rotation mechanism is connected with the right wheel train and the right housing assembly, and the second end of the rotation mechanism is inserted into the left housing assembly and rotationally connected with the left housing assembly. The rotation mechanism is just arranged in the right housing assembly, but connected with the right housing assembly and the right wheel train respectively, thus reducing the strength requirements of the self-balancing vehicle on the left housing assembly and simplifying the components of the left housing assembly.

A self-balancing vehicle includes a vehicle body having a housing with left and right sides which are independently moveable. A unitary support bar is disposed within the housing, and a left drive wheel and an opposed right drive wheel are each coupled to the support bar. A bracket encircles the support bar; the bracket has a cylindrical body formed with a slot through the body. A set screw is fixed to the support bar and is received within the slot to limit rotational movement of the support bar with respect to the bracket.

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.

The present invention relates to a drifting electric scooter and, more specifically, to a drifting electric scooter, wherein: a sensor unit is installed at a controller and the movement of a scooter is controlled according to the moving direction and angle of the controller, and thus a short control section for acceleration and stopping of a conventional electric scooter is widened, so that the problems, such as abrupt start and abrupt stop, of the conventional electric scooter can be solved; the drifting electric scooter allows riders to more precisely control the speed and enjoy riding such that the riders can easily and safely control acceleration and stopping by simple upward/downward movement of the controller; a human body detection sensor is attached to a handle portion of the controller, and thus the scooter stops to prevent malfunction of the scooter when the controller is separated from a user's hand, so that safety is ensured and thus safe riding is possible; and multiple switches for selecting various riding modes are installed at the controller, so that more pleasant and interesting riding than in conventional scooter riding is possible.

An exercise device is described. An exercise device including a body, the body having a top, a bottom, a first end located at one edge of the body, a second end located at an opposite end of the body, and first and second sides extending between the first and second ends; one or more wheels; and an energy storage device applying resistive and restoring force to the wheel. Optionally, a shaft can be present that rotationally locks two or more of the wheels.

An exercise device is described which includes a platform having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; first and second wheels, wherein the first wheel is positioned proximate the first end and the second wheel is positioned proximate the second end and the first and second wheels are configured to roll across a surface as the exercise device is displaced along the surface; a first motor configured to apply a first torque to the first wheel where the magnitude of the first torque is related to the distance of the exercise device from a zero position and the direction of the first torque urges movement of the exercise device toward the zero position. Versions are also described with more wheels and more motors.

Described herein are systems and apparatuses for securing and locking a battery or battery enclosure to a vehicle. In general, a vehicle may include a planar body mounted to any number of wheels, tracks, wings or flotation devices. In a preferred embodiment, the security device comprises a security plate and a locking pin system is used to secure the battery to any vehicle. The security plate is positioned between the fastener heads and the battery enclosure and has an opening for the locking pin to slide through. Once the pin is inserted into security plate the pin lock secures the pin in place and prevents removal of the battery or battery enclosure from the vehicle.

The disclosure relates generally to an electric skateboard. The electric skateboard may include a deck, at least a rechargeable battery pack, a control module, and a communications module, a pair of trucks mounted to the deck, a plurality of wheels mounted on axles of the trucks; and one or more motors installed in one or more of the plurality of wheels for propelling the electric skateboard. The deck may include a front end, a rear end, a top plate. The rechargeable battery pack, control module, and communications module may be enclosed in an enclosure attached to the deck.
