An apparatus for illuminating a rotating element of the apparatus with as few as a single light source and a method for assembling such apparatus are disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a center, a clear substrate element that may rotate about the center, and a light source for evenly illuminating the clear substrate element. The light source is configured to emit light toward the clear substrate element at an angle, which is predetermined based on one or more attributes of the clear substrate element, such as the geometry and the index of refraction.

The invention relates to a scooter, comprising a standing surface, at least one rear wheel articulated to the standing surface, and at least one front wheel articulated to the standing surface, which scooter can be moved in a direction of travel, wherein the scooter also comprises an element that is connected in an articulated manner to or can be attached to the standing surface, which element can be transferred from a first position as a seat element to a second position as a holding bar for a person standing on the standing surface, wherein, in the case of use, the scooter can be moved in the same movement direction in the case of a first position of the element and in the case of a second position of the element.

A pair of foot lift attachments for attachment to single-wheel motorized electric skateboards, and combinations thereof. The foot lift attachments include a right foot lift attachment and a left foot lift attachment, each having a first concave curved outer facing side wall configured to be engaged on a curved support surface of either of a fender covering the single wheel, or a curved support surface of a mounting bracket secured at each side of the opening for the single wheel, and each having a convex curved top end wall with a concave curved underside configured to laterally receive and overlap the medial side and a top portion of the skateboard rider's foot and footwear worn on the foot to enable the rider to lift the skateboard off the ground with their feet and perform freestyle skateboarding maneuvers and aerial moves and jumps.

Electric vehicles, electric vehicle systems, and methods for controlling the electric vehicles or electric vehicle systems are described. In one implementation, an electric vehicle includes a main body for carrying a user, a plurality of electric wheels mounted on the main body, and a controller mounted on the main body. The main body includes a front main body and a rear main body removably connected to the front main body. The front main body can move independently when disconnected from the rear main body. In some embodiments, at least one of the plurality of electric wheels is mounted on the front main body. The controller is configured to send drive signals to the plurality of electric wheels according to input of the user. The plurality of electric wheels are configured to rotate according to the drive signals. The electric vehicles and the electric vehicle systems described in the present disclosure have a separable main body, advantageously allowing for short or medium distance transportation at low cost, flexibility in turning, and great potential for expanding their functionality.

The present specification discloses wheel mounts for personal vehicles, such as skateboards and scooters. Wheel mount embodiments disclosed herein provide for the interchangeable mounting of wheels having differently shaped wheel cores. The present invention allows users to forego the previous limitation of having a specific wheel mount that only provides for the mounting a specific wheel having one specific wheel core geometry. Embodiments can be utilized on motorized personal vehicles, such as motorized skateboards and scooters that utilize various motors, such as direct drive or belt drive motors.

An auto-balancing transportation device having a wheel structure and foot platforms that pivot between an in-use and a stowed position. The pivot axis for each platform is provided within the wheel structure so that the force exerted by a rider when stepping on a foot platform is applied to the wheel structure at a point within the wheel structure, as opposed to external to it, which is unstable and may cause the device to tip over.

A device which may include first and second cross skate bodies each having a frame configured to support at least first and second wheels situated inline of each other, each frame having at least one compartment configured to position a corresponding power source of first and second power sources; first and second foot couplers, each foot coupler configured to couple a foot of a user to a corresponding cross skate body of the cross skate bodies; a first traction motor coupled to drive at least one of the first and second wheels of the first cross skate body; a second traction motor coupled to drive at least one of the first and second wheels of the second cross skate body; and a controller which may be configured to: receive a drive signal from a drive controller, and control the first and second traction motors to drive the corresponding wheels in accordance with the drive signal.
