CONTROLLERS FOR ELECTRIC SKATEBOARDS
A controller for an electric skateboard is provided. The controller includes a pistol-grip housing configured to fit in a palm of a hand of a user of the electric skateboard; an accelerator trigger positioned on an upper front portion of the pistol-grip housing, and configured to be actuated by a first finger of the hand when the pistol-grip housing is gripped; a brake trigger positioned on an upper rear portion of the pistol-grip housing, and configured to be actuated by a thumb of the hand when the pistol-grip housing is gripped; and a display screen positioned on a front upper portion of the pistol-grip housing above the accelerator trigger and forwardly of the brake trigger, and configured to be viewed by the user when the pistol-grip housing is gripped.
Skateboard safety brake
The present invention is related to a skateboard safety brake that is pear shaped and is coupled to the rear tail portion of a skateboard.
Skateboard Brake with Replaceable Friction Element
According to one aspect, an apparatus for reducing the speed or acceleration of motion of a skateboard and its user is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the apparatus includes one or more friction elements that are removably affixed to a substantially flat resilient member at a location near the first end of the resilient member typically proximate to the rear wheel mounting truck; the resilient member is then affixed by fasteners upon its opposite and second end to the underneath face of the platform of the skateboard, typically proximate to or forward of the center of the platform. The apparatus also includes a substantially rigid linkage that penetrates the skateboard platform and is affixed to near the first end of the resilient member for the purpose of interfacing the first end of the resilient member selectively to one foot of a user of the skateboard, such that when the user desires to reduce the speed or acceleration of the skateboard the user applies to the linkage a force substantially normal to the skateboard platform and therefore the resilient member. The force applied to the resilient member causes the friction element or elements to contact the riding surface, creating by the contact of the friction element or elements with the riding surface a frictional force that is transmitted to the skateboard platform via the fixation of the second end of the resilient member to the skateboard, opposingly counteracting the velocity or acceleration of the skateboard and user, thereby slowing the motion. The frictional force is modulated by the variable force applied to the apparatus by the user.
BOARD APPARATUS WITH A PIVOT WHEEL FOR TRAVERSING INCLINES
A board apparatus that a user can ride and use to traverse inclines is disclosed. The board apparatus comprises an elongated board with a pivot wheel protruding through the board. A user of the board apparatus can stand on the board with feet in front and behind the pivot wheel, balancing a substantial portion of their weight on the pivot wheel. By adjusting their weight on the pivot wheel, the user is able to control the board's direction of travel. The board apparatus may further comprise a brake apparatus integrated to the pivot wheel that allows the user to maintain control over their speed as the board apparatus gains momentum going down an incline. The board apparatus may further comprise low friction elements at their front and/or rear ends to assist in maintaining momentum if the front or rear end comes into contact with the ground or an obstacle.
ASSEMBLY FOR ABSORPTION OF THE SHOCK CAUSED BY ONE-WAY BEARING ON THE ROLLER-SKI WHEEL
The assembly for the amortization of the impact of the roller-ski wheel, caused by one-way bearing, generally relates to the field of sports training equipment. More closely, it relates to the field of skates, skis, and rollerblades, and specifically refers to the classic roller-ski. The assembly for absorption of the impact of the roller-ski wheel caused by one-way bearing (I) of the wheel (C) of the roller-ski (A), characterized by the axle (H) of the wheel (C) being rotationably inserted into the body of roller-ski (A), while two discs (G) are fixed on the axle (H) bilaterally and symmetrically relative to the wheel (C), with each disc (G) having the springs (E) bilaterally and symmetrically attached to it with its one end while being attached to the body of roller ski (A) by the bolt (J) with its other end.
Transportation device with pivoting axle
Devices and methods of transport are disclosed. Various embodiments include structural aspects related to steering and changing the direction of conveyances including features which utilize leaning or shifting of weight as part of turning.
Hybrid board and methods of riding the same
An improvement to a traditional skateboard or traditional longboard with the addition of an attached, low-lying handlebar and riding methods. A traditional skateboard or traditional longboard limits riding positions or choices amid a standing position being standard riding practice. Although some riders attempt other riding positions, such as squatting, these unconventional riding positions are not technically pursuant to the current design, purpose, proper usage or intended use of a traditional skateboard or traditional longboard. These unconventional practices restrict board control and therefore increase the risk of injuries overall. The purpose of this improvement is to present the rider of a traditional skateboard or traditional longboard flexibility to implement different riding positions. With the attachment of a low-lying handlebar, the traditional skateboard or traditional longboard ultimately becomes a hybrid board allowing to ride kneeling or squatted. Additionally, there is an increase of board control and safety while in alternate riding positions.

Inline skate having adjustable shock absorber
An inline skate includes a front wheel mount secured to a bottom of a skate boot; a front wheel rotatably secured to the front wheel mount; a rear wheel mount secured to the bottom of the skate boot; a rear wheel rotatably secured to the rear wheel mount; and a shock absorber disposed between the front wheel mount and the rear wheel mount and including two sets of a positioning member secured to the skate boot; a threaded adjustment member disposed through either the rear or front wheel mount; a first bifurcation element through a biasing member and having one end secured to the adjustment member and the other two ends secured to the biasing member; and a second bifurcation element through the biasing member and having one end secured to the positioning member and the other two ends secured to the biasing member.
SKATEBOARD WITH HAND BRAKE
A skateboard with hand brake comprises a skateboard, a handle and a hand brake.
A skateboard can be an ordinary skateboard or an electric motor skateboard.
The handlebar has an L shape.
The end of the lower part of the handle is fitted to the hanger of the front truck of the skateboard.
