An apparatus comprising a platform; a plurality of trucks coupled to the platform; and a roller assembly coupled to the platform, wherein the roller assembly is configured for an omnidirectional rotation, wherein the roller assembly is configured for an elastic biasing, wherein the roller assembly is driven by a motor.

A split electric skateboard that includes a deck, a battery unit, a front bracket, a rear bracket, wheels, a main control module, hub motors, a heat dissipator, and a remote control module. The wheels include driven wheels and drive wheels. The split electric skateboard is rationally designed to guarantee the safety, reliability, and stability of the tire bead during high-speed use. The design makes it more convenient to remove and replace the tire bead. Additionally, even when then battery runs out of power, the skateboard may still be used as a common skateboard such that the regenerated energy during non-electric use may be absorbed by the battery unit to achieve a battery charging effect.

A motorized vehicle assembly includes an axle comprising a channel extending along a central axis of the axle, a socket positioned within the channel of the axle, and a motorized wheel configured to be mounted on an end the axle. The motorized wheel includes a boss configured to engage the end of the axle when the motorized wheel is mounted on the axle, an electric motor, a tire mounted on the rotor, and a plug positioned within the boss, the plug configured to engage with the socket when the motorized wheel is mounted on the axle. The electric motor includes a stator fixed to the boss and a rotor surrounding the stator, the rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator. The electric motor is configured to cause the rotor to rotate relative to the stator to cause the tire to rotate.

A skateboard deck with multiple layers constructed from multiple materials is disclosed. Embodiments for design and manufacture are disclosed. The skateboard decks comprise resilient layers formed of a material such as wood and a reinforcing layer formed from high strength low eight materials. The reinforcing layers are located proximate the upper and/or lower regions to absorb the high stress applied to the skateboard during use.

A foot-controlled personal transportation device having a drive wheel and a foot platform, with the drive wheel preferably located below the platform. Device driving may be controlled by a position sensor and a control circuit that drives the device toward auto-balancing. Various components and embodiments are disclosed including, but not limited to, a single wheel structure having various configurations, one-foot and two-feet platform embodiments, various sensor and drive arrangements, and coaxial wheel driving using a hub motor or the like.

In an aspect, a tire for use with a single wheel, self-balancing vehicle is provided. The tire has a tire body with a tread configured for engagement with a ground surface. The tread has a lateral profile having a central region, a first lateral region tapering towards a first lateral side of the tire, and a second lateral region tapering towards a second lateral side of the tire. The lateral profile is substantially free of discontinuity. The tread has a non-directional tread groove arrangement that is asymmetrical about a central circumference line of the tire. The tire has a hardness selected to substantially prevent deformation of the first profile and the second profile during riding by a rider.

A wearable device configured to selectively provide roller transportation, the wearable device including a shoe, a plurality of wheel assemblies, each wheel assembly being configured to selectively roll relative to a ground surface about an associated axis of rotation, and a frame connected between the wheel assemblies, the frame comprising a trunk and a plurality of branches extending from the trunk, each of the branches being configured for connection to at least one of the plurality of wheel assemblies, wherein at least a portion of the shoe is located vertically higher than at least a portion of the frame when at least one of the wheel assemblies is in contact with the ground surface and the at least one of the wheel assemblies is positioned to selectively roll relative to the ground surface.

Disclosed herein is a retractable inline skate shoe. The retractable inline skate shoe is configured such that: a cavity is formed in the sole of a shoe body; the housing is mounted and fastened in the cavity; a slider is inserted into the housing; a push button is configured to protrude to an outside via a through hole portion formed in a heel of the shoe sole; a number of L-shaped wheel shaft insertion recesses are formed in lower portions of both left and right sides of the slider; a frame is mounted inside the slider; recessed wheel shaft fitting recesses are formed in both side wall surfaces of the frame; two fastening recesses are fastened onto the shoe sole; a guide is inserted into the frame; and the slider containing the frame is fastened into the housing by means of housing fastening plates.

The present invention discloses a flat ground cross-country type roller skate comprising a skate body (1), wherein a wheel assembly at a lower part of the skate body, wherein the wheel assembly comprises a mounting seat (6) used to mount the skate body (1) and a hoisting mechanism disposed on the mounting seat (6). There are at least three wheel assemblies disposed on the hoisting mechanism, and each wheel assembly can hoist independently under the action of the hoisting mechanism. Thus, the wheel assemblies of the roller skate can be hoisted independently so as to adapt to various roads with uneven surface.
