The present utility model discloses a roller skate. The rollers are divided into the front roller group and the rear roller group, and the rear roller group is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the skate body through the reversing mechanism, so that switching of the rear roller group between line arrangement and row arrangement is realized, the scope of application of the roller skate is effectively extended, and the roller skate has higher practicability.

The present invention comprises structural fenders for a riding device with laterally-spaced wheels, for example on a skateboard. Each wheel is covered by a structural fender that supports the wheel axle on each side of the wheel. Each wheel may have its own axle, or a pair of laterally-spaced wheels may have a single axle. The structural fenders may be used with a skateboard, scooter, or other riding device, and may be connected with a truck hanger comprised of three rigid bodies connected by revolute and spherical joints and a single compliant body to provide three primary motions: leaning, steering, and floating.

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.
