A vehicle for transporting a passenger in a standing position includes a frame, a rear axle assembly disposed at a rear end of the frame, a front suspension assembly disposed at a front end of the frame, a rear deck attached to the frame to accommodate a trailing foot of the passenger, a front deck attached to the frame to accommodate a leading foot of the passenger, and a driveshaft extending forward from the rear axle assembly such that the driveshaft transmits power to the rear axle assembly.

A system for lighting a volleyball court has four corner light assemblies, two side center light assemblies, and four mid-court light assemblies. Each corner light assembly has an upper light fixture adapted to emit light outward and downward at a level generally below a player's eye level and a lower light element mounted in a manner to emit light outwards and upwards. Each side center light assembly has two lower light fixtures adapted to emit light outward and downward at a level generally below a player's eye level and an upper light assembly adapted to emit light outwards and upwards at a level generally above a player's eye level. Each mid-court light assembly has a light fixture adapted to emit light outward and downward at a level generally below a player's eye level. By ensuring that no light is emitted at a player's eye level, glare is significantly reduced.

The application relates to a pedal mechanism and a housing of a balancing vehicle. The pedal mechanism comprises a pedal body, and an internal framework is arranged inside the pedal body. A lower side of the pedal body is also formed with an induction probe for inducting a control system inside a balancing vehicle. A housing of the balancing vehicle comprises a pair of symmetrically arranged and relatively rotatable inner housings, the inner housings are connected with the upper housing, and the pedal mechanism installed at upper housing. The pedal body and the induction probe are integrally molded, which has the advantages of less multiple assembly processes, shorter processing time, higher precision, and not easy to fall off which strengthens the stability of the structure.

A personal transport system is provided including, in an embodiment, an electrically powered vehicle, a companion remote control, and a companion mobile phone application. The vehicle includes an operator-supporting deck, one or more deck-mounted trucks, one or more axle-mounted wheels on each of the one or more trucks, one or more batteries, and a deck lighting system. The one or more batteries power a motor configured to drive the wheels by way of a pulley system, at least one battery of which is disposed under a battery enclosure. The battery enclosure has a first light indicator system, and the companion remote control has a second light indicator system, each of which is configured for communicating with the operator. The deck lighting system includes a light strip of light-emitting diodes disposed in a groove of the deck configured to change state to communicate with the operator or others sharing a road.

The present disclosure includes a transportation apparatus. The apparatus comprises: a surface to receive a plurality of forces at a plurality of locations thereon; a plurality of force sensors, attached to the surface, to provide information related to the plurality of forces; a plurality of wheels beneath the surface, each of the plurality of wheels being coupled with a motor; and a controller to: determine, based on the provided information, a first plurality of forces at the plurality of locations; determine, based on the first plurality of forces, a reference distribution associated with the plurality of locations; determine, based on the provided information, a second plurality of forces; determine a target speed and a target direction of the apparatus based on the reference distribution and the second plurality of forces; and provide one or more signals to the motors based on the target speed and the target direction.

An exercise apparatus and a method thereof relate to the technical fields of physical exercise, training instruments, life cultivation and health preservation, leisure and entertainment, teaching appliances, smart home and the like. Through reverse thinking, by changing a shape, a structure, a function, a control method or/and a using method of an electric scooter, the electric scooter is switched to the fields of physical exercise or/and learning and education. By means of technical characteristics in an attempt to avoid by the technical staff, unexpected technical effects are achieved, and a new purpose of the electric scooter is achieved. The exercise apparatus carries a user to perform automatic round-trip movement, the user correspondingly adjusts physical and mental states to prevent from falling and the exercise apparatus is helpful for improving abilities of balancing, coordination, relaxation, flexibility, concentration and contingency of the user.

A snow gliding device (1) comprising: a first gliding surface (10), a first layer (20) for heating said first gliding surface (1), where the first layer (20) comprises: a positive temperature coefficient superimposed impedance polymeric compound (22), a first and a second electrode (24, 26), wherein said positive temperature coefficient superimposed impedance polymeric compound (22) is at least partially sandwiched between said first and second electrode (24, 26), and which first and second electrodes (24, 26) are adapted to provide a potential difference across said positive temperature coefficient superimposed impedance polymeric compound (22) when connected to a power source, wherein the first layer (20) is arranged adjacent to and in thermal communication with said first gliding surface (10).

A mobility device comprising a motorized shoe to be worn by a user to increase the speed of walking. The motorized shoe has a plurality of wheels, with at least one wheel driven by an electric motor through a geartrain. On onboard controller gathers data from at least one of an inertial measurement unit, an ultrasonic sensor, and a vision system to generate a command speed to the electric motor. A user wearing a pair of the mobility devices, one on each foot, is able to walk with a normal gait, but at an increased speed.

Methods and apparatus are discussed for an electric-powered personal transportation vehicle with a composite board to support a weight of a user, one or more wheels driven by one or more electric motors, where the electric motors are powered by one or more batteries. The composite board includes a heterogeneous mix of individual components making up the composite board. The composite board includes i) a spine of the composite board made of a hardwood material connected to ii) sides of the composite board made of a vibration-dampening, high-density, foam.

Methods and apparatus are discussed for an electric powered personal transportation vehicle with electric motors powered by one or more batteries. A battery pack storage enclosure i) contains a set of pocket cores. The first battery pack storage enclosure has a rigid internal structure that has a set of pocket cores that hold the battery cells in place and ii) contains a metal mid-plate that functionally transfers thermal heat rapidly through a metal mass of the metal mid-plate to smooth out spikes of local temperatures when an initial battery cell overheats and fails in order to minimize the heat from the initial battery cell failure from propagating and causing a neighboring battery cell to also fail from the heat.
