An electric scooter hitch assembly is configured to be quickly attached to and removed from an electric scooter. The hitch assembly provides a mechanism for selectively securing a carry-on or other towable item to a variety of electric scooters. The hitch assembly is compact and easily transportable thereby making it an ideal solution for a rider to temporarily adapt an electric scooter, including rental electric scooters, to transport towable items such as trailers, luggage, carts, or other suitable items.

This disclosure relates to systems and methods of towing, hitching, and connecting devices. In particular, this disclosure relates to tow devices, hitches, and connections for towing item containers behind vehicles, both autonomous and manually guided.

The present invention relates to a cart (1) for use as a bicycle trailer (1) or as a handcart (1) with a frame (10) with a pair of wheels (13) and with a loading surface (14) and with a foldable drawbar (3) with a drawbar body (33) which is designed to be connected to a bicycle in a first position and to be guided by a user's hand in a second position. The cart (1) is characterized in that the foldable drawbar (3) has a drawbar holder (30) arranged on the frame (10), the drawbar holder (30) being designed with the draw-bar body (33) in the first position and in the second position. The present invention also relates to a cart (1) for use as a bicycle trailer (1) or as a handcart (1) with a frame (10) with a pair of wheels (13) and with a loading surface (14) and with a fold-out stand (2). The cart (1) is characterized in that the fold-out stand (2) has a stand holder (20) which is arranged on the frame (10) and a stand element (24) which is held in a foldable manner by the stand holder (20), the stand holder (20) having a recess (21) within which the stand element (24) can be hinged between a folded state and an unfolded state.

A weight distribution hitch system comprising a vehicle attachment member comprising a forward end configured to rigidly attach to a vehicle, and a rearward end extending rearwardly toward a trailer, the rearward end comprising an upper portion comprising a trailer attachment member configured to pivotally attach to a coupler of the trailer, and a lower portion configured to receive a moment bar; a moment bar having a modulus of elasticity, the moment bar comprising a moment bar forward end attached to the lower portion of the rearward end of the vehicle attachment member so as to prevent rotation about a horizontal axis, and a moment bar rearward end; a tension member comprising a top end configured to be supported by a frame member of the trailer, and a bottom end configured to support the rearward end of the moment bar; wherein, when the tension member is in tension, it imposes an upward force on the moment bar rearward end, which, in turn, imposes a forward moment on the vehicle; and wherein the modulus of elasticity is low enough that an adjustment range for the moment bar is greater than 0.5 inches is disclosed.

This disclosure relates to systems and methods of towing, hitching, and connecting devices. In particular, this disclosure relates to tow devices, hitches, and connections for towing item containers behind vehicles, both autonomous and manually guided.
