Systems for mounting accessories on skateboards
There is provided a system for mounting accessories on skateboards including a mounting baseplate having at least two mounting holes, a receiving port formed by a first support and a second support, wherein the second support includes a retention element, the supports extending from the second side of the mounting baseplate, the receiving port angled at a mounting angle, a securing element extending through the first support and the second support and engaging the retention element, and an accessory housing including an accessory body housing an accessory, and a mounting element extending from the accessory body, the accessory housing connected to the mounting baseplate by the mounting element engaged with the receiving port and secured in place by the securing element, and wherein the receiving port is oriented at the mounting angle to allow engagement of the accessory housing without interference from a truck mounting hardware.
Foot lift attachments for skateboards and combinations thereof
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.
Systems and methods for recreational propulsion device
A recreational power and stabilizing apparatus according to various aspects of the present technology includes an elongated handle body, a spring member coupled to the elongated handle body, and a traction element. The spring member comprises a compound curving element having a lower power region and a high power region. The traction element is coupled to the spring member and engages the ground during use.

IMPROVED SIGNALING DEVICE
A signaling device intended to be worn by a moving user such as a rider of a two-wheel vehicle providing improved visibility on the part of other road users through the provision of a light source at a greater height than is conventional for such vehicles comprises an accelerometer taking measurements along three orthogonal axes, a rechargeable battery pack, a first light source, wireless communication means for transmitting an alert signal and a control unit which activates the light source above a particular deceleration or braking threshold, activates the communication means at a higher deceleration or accident threshold and activates the communication means when a number of switchovers between acceleration and deceleration is equal to or higher than a third threshold.
Ball skate sole structure, skating shoe, sandal structure, and skateboard
Provided is a ball skate sole structure which can be customized for each individual or each sport. This ball skate sole structure includes: a base plate having a plurality of first holes and a plurality of second holes; at least one ball roller member, the at least one ball roller member being disposed in the first hole selected from among the plurality of first holes; and at least one brake member, the at least one brake member being disposed in the second hole selected from among the plurality of second holes.
Self-balancing vehicle
A self-balancing vehicle includes two vehicle bodies, respectively including a carrier assembly, a moving mechanism, a control assembly, and a power supply device coupled to the control assembly. The carrier assembly includes a frame and a foot platform coupled to the frame to form a cavity. The frame recess towards the foot platform defining a groove. The moving mechanism includes a wheel disposed on the groove side of the frame and a driving member. Part of the wheel is accommodated in the groove. The driving member drive the wheel to rotate relative to the frame. The control assembly includes a posture sensor detecting a tilt angle of the frame with respect to the vertical direction and a controller controlling a rotation speed of the driving member. At least one of the power supply device and the controller is accommodated in the cavity.

Reduced friction under-side of a skateboard to mitigate wheel bite
This invention provides the novel application of securing a low friction polymer, such as, for example, UHMWPE as the exemplary embodiment, with a coefficient of friction of less than about 0.15, which has adjustable margins for length, height, and width, on the bottom of a skateboard, between the bottom of the skateboard and the wheels with the purpose of mitigating the problem of wheel bite in skateboarding. This piece may have a flat or shaped, concave surface, and can be attached to the skateboard with an adhesive, by embedding the material in the skateboard, or by other known methods.
Personal transport apparatus
A personal transport includes a deck configured for supporting a rider in a standing position. At least one wheel assembly is mounted on a bottom surface of the deck, the, or each, wheel assembly having at least one wheel so that the deck can travel over a substrate. An operator handle is substantially rigidly mounted on a rear end of the deck and extends rearwardly from the deck so that an operator, standing on the substrate, can grasp the operator handle and push the apparatus along the substrate, or tilt the apparatus relative to the substrate, while the rider is supported on the deck. A rider handle mounted on one of the deck and the operator handle and positioned so that the rider can grasp the rider handle for balance while supported by the deck.
