A dolly includes a first skate, a second skate, and a rod connected to the skates. The first skate is connected to a plurality of wheels and has a receiving region. The second skate is connected to a plurality of wheels and has a receiving region. The second skate includes an outer lateral surface having an aperture. The rod is connected to the first skate and the second skate via the respective receiving regions of the respective skates. The rod is configured to extend through the aperture such that a portion of the rod extends outwardly from the outer lateral surface of the second skate.

A roller board has axles provided with castors and secured at the front and rear ends of a board deck such that a steering movement is transferrable to the axles by a person on the board deck by lateral shifting of weight. Steerability and problem-free operation are improved. Substantially rigid booms, one directed to the front and one directed to the rear, are provided at the front and rear ends of the board deck, respectively. A support arm pointing in the direction of the central axis of the board deck is rigidly fastened to each boom. The support arms are pivotable on the two sides about a pivot axis inclined in the direction of travel by 40° to 50° relative to the plane of the board deck. The axle of a single castor is mounted rotatably in or on each hub, with the pivot joint inside the castor.

A skate includes an inverted groove-shaped base secured to a boot and including front and rear pins; an elongated frame including front and rear sets of a transverse inner groove and a transverse open groove communicating with the transverse inner groove, and a threaded hole on the transverse open groove of the front set wherein either pin is disposed in the transverse inner groove and the elongated frame abuts an underside of the base; and a locking device including a spring biased block member disposed in the transverse open groove of the front set and having two projections at two ends respectively, a screw driven through a positioning member into the threaded hole to fasten the positioning member in the transverse open groove of the front set so that the block member abuts the front pin to block same in an assembled state.

One or more sets of dual brake pads and related assemblies are disposed over and upon one or more wheels of an inline skate. One or more center assemblies are above each brake enabled wheel and center over each wheel. A brake assembly may be secured to a skate boot or to the frame of an inline skate. A brake assembly may attach to a hand control braking system enabling foot free braking. A brake assembly may be attached to one or more center wheels of an inline skate so as to not impede skating maneuvers.

In a preferred embodiment a wheeled platform apparatus and method for use in rolling on a surface are provided. The apparatus includes a platform having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front portion, a center portion, a rear portion, and a first wheel and a second wheel that interface with or are positioned below the bottom surface of the platform to facilitate rolling movement of the platform. The apparatus may further include an attachment device interfacing with the top surface and the footwear, as well as a footrest to support the forefoot of another foot, or footwear.

An electric roller skate in the present invention includes a shoe body, a roller frame, a driver, a rotation speed detection device, and a controller. The controller receives rotation speed information of the rotation speed detection device and accordingly controls the driver to start to drive the rollers to rotate. The present invention further provides a control method for the electric roller skate described above. The controller is capable of controlling the driver to start to drive the electric roller skate to slide according to the detected rotation speed information. Through the above arrangement, the solution can help a user to skate in a more labor-saving manner and reduce fatigue of the user. Meanwhile, the driver is started in a mode closer to a conventional sliding mode, is higher in convenience and intelligence, reduces use difficulty and makes user experience better.

An individual movement equipment item, which is constituted by a pair of motorized skates, each of the motorized skates comprising: a plate in the form of a sole and having a front portion, which is articulated transversely relative to a rear portion, the plate having means for connecting to the foot or the shoe of the user, motorized means, which are formed by two portions, which are articulated transversely in order to form a front train and a rear train, connection means between the articulated plate and the motorized means, which connect the front portion to the front train and the rear portion to the rear train, characterized in that the angle of the longitudinal axis of the at least one of the trains of each of the skates forms an angle between 10° and 20°, and preferably of from 12° to 15°, with the longitudinal axis of the plate.

The present steerable wheel assembly incorporates a lean-to-steer mechanism into an inner race of a roller bearing, while a wheel is mounted to an outer race of the roller bearing. A shaft extending from the mechanism is attached to a body, and the mechanism acts to steer the outer race and the wheel about a vertical steering axis when the shaft is tilted about a horizontal axis. The mechanism can be a pivot joint, providing a linear steering response, or can be a lean-to-steer mechanism that provides a non-linear response where the steering action is not proportionally responsive to tilting over the expected range of tilting.
