A system for control of a mobility device comprising a controller for analyzing data from at least one sensor on the mobility device, wherein the data is used to determine the gait of user. The gait data is then used to provide motion command to an electric motor on the mobility device.

A device for setting the orientation of a boot binding on a snowboard includes a disk fixable to the board, the binding being mounted to be able to rotate in relation to the disk about a vertical axis of rotation, at least one locking method mounted adjustably between a locked position where it immobilizes the binding in relation to the disk, and an unlocked position where it allows the rotation of the binding around the axis of rotation for an angular adjustment of the binding in relation to the board, the displacement of the locking method is ensured by an actuator, that is remotely controllable, and a locking method and an actuator that are installed in the disk so that: the actuator can be actuated when the boot is retained in the binding and, the locking method is movable by the actuator when the boot is retained in the binding.

A motorized or non-motorized multi-wheeled skateboard assembly including a board deck to support the user, a board having a top side, a bottom side, a flat and a rounded end, linkages, hinges, a steered wheel assembly, an input device and a drive assembly. The steered wheel assembly improves maneuverability, turn radius, and stability. The user steers the skateboard assembly by altering pressure between the top side first end and the top side second end causing the steered wheel to turn, thus manually steering the board. This change in pressure is also altered between the first linkage and second linkage in direct or inverse relation to altering pressure between the top side first end and the top side second end of the board deck.

An electronically controlled detachable motorized track system for a snowboard having front and rear baseplates sized to fit in a backpack with right and left motorized tracks having a length extending beyond the front and rear baseplates from proximate the rear of a snowboard to proximate the front of a snowboard and beyond the front and rear baseplates, each adapted for wrapping around drive rollers and freely rotating rear rollers. A hand controller wirelessly controls the tracks.

A stowable motorized skateboard comprising a first board section, a second board section, a power supply section, and support bars. The first board section includes a locking mechanism and first support anchors. The second board section includes a controller, a motor, second support anchors, and power supply anchors. The power supply section is between the first and second board sections, encasing a battery electrically coupled to the controller and the motor, and including a catch receiving the locking mechanism. The power supply section further receives the power supply anchors. The support bars extend from the first board section to the second board section and receive the first support anchors and the second support anchors.

An electronically controlled detachable motorized track system for a snowboard having front and rear baseplates sized to fit in a backpack with right and left motorized tracks having a length extending beyond the front and rear baseplates from proximate the rear of a snowboard to proximate the front of a snowboard and beyond the front and rear baseplates, each adapted for wrapping around drive rollers and freely rotating rear rollers. A hand controller wirelessly controls the tracks.

An electric weight sensing skateboard using one or more strain gauge systems to detect rider-induced strain on one or both trucks, an inertial sensor to detect accelerations and balance position, and wheel speed sensors. Throttle is controlled by rider position, for example, lean forward to increase speed, lean back to slow down. Several drive methods include a driver position detection velocity setpoint control, torque setpoint control, and direct velocity/torque control. A throttle remote is note required. Rider weight activates the motors.

A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle may include a suspension system configured to dampen up and down motion of a board relative to the axle of a central wheel assembly when the vehicle encounters obstacles and bumps on a riding surface. Illustrative suspension systems include a shock absorber, a rocker, a pushrod, bell cranks, and/or a swingarm that couple the axle to the board. The suspension system may be disposed completely below a foot deck of the vehicle.

An auto-balancing transportation device having a compact form. Left and right foot platform sections are coupled for fore-aft tilt angle movement relative to one another. Left and right wheels are provided under the respective foot platforms. With a rider's weight directed primarily downward onto the wheels and not onto the coupling structure, the coupling structure may have sufficient space to house the battery. In addition, more efficient and lighter weight supports and bearing arrangements may be used in the coupling structure. Various embodiments are disclosed.

A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle may include a board having two deck portions each having a concave front footpad configured to receive a foot of a rider, and a wheel assembly disposed between the deck portions. The concave front footpad has a rider detection sensor in the form of a membrane switch conforming to the shape of the footpad (e.g., facilitated by one or more slots formed in the membrane switch). A motor assembly drives the vehicle in response to board orientation and rider detection information.
