A self-stabilizing, one-wheeled electric skateboard may include improved features. In some examples, the vehicle includes a status indicator viewable through a slot formed in an upper surface of the board. In some examples, the vehicle includes a convertible carrying handle transitionable between stowed and deployed positions. In some examples, the vehicle includes an interchangeable fender and fender substitute that may be removably coupled to an upper surface of the board. In some examples, a motor controller of the vehicle may operate a field-oriented control (FOC) scheme configured to control the electric motor by manipulating a direct current aligned with a rotating rotor flux angle and a quadrature current defined at ninety degrees from the rotating rotor flux angle. In some examples, the motor controller may be configured to permit intuitive dismounting of the vehicle by tilting and/or moving the vehicle backward.

The invention relates to a system for variable marking of a playing field (1), comprising at least two marking devices (2) designed as laser projectors, an analysis device designed to analyse a calibration pattern (3) projected onto the playing field (1) by means of a marking device (2), as well as designed to determine a distortion function from the calibration pattern (3), a control device designed to determine the position of a marking pattern (4) on the playing field (1), and a transformation device designed to apply the distortion function to the marking pattern (4) in order to obtain a target marking (5). The invention further relates to a method for variable marking of a playing field (1).

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a wireless remote control or remote control application for controlling the lighting of an electronic personal transportation vehicle. Embodiments can solve problems related to sharing electronic personal transportation vehicles by uniquely identifying a user, and allowing that user to control the lighting of the electronic personal transportation vehicle. In this manner, other users can control the lighting at different times, depending on the specific person that is using the electronic personal transportation vehicle at any given time.

This technical solution relates to the field of Personal Mobility Devices (PMD) equipped with a Wheel Lighting System. A personal mobility device (PMD) containing wheels made of a substance containing photoluminophore, a wheel lighting system that contains at least one source of UV-light connected to a battery, a controlling device which activates the source of UV-light, wherein at least one source of UV-light is installed in such a way that enables the illumination of at least a part of the wheel.

An apparatus for illuminating a rotating element of the apparatus with as few as a single light source and a method for assembling such apparatus are disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a center, a clear substrate element that may rotate about the center, and a light source for evenly illuminating the clear substrate element. The light source is configured to emit light toward the clear substrate element at an angle, which is predetermined based on one or more attributes of the clear substrate element, such as the geometry and the index of refraction.
