Various powered mobility systems, such as scooters and wheeled boards, are disclosed. The powered mobility system can be a drive assembly, which can include a motor, transmission assembly, driving wheel, and power supply. The drive assembly can be detachable from the rest of the personal mobility vehicle.

The present disclosure relates to a dual-purpose electric scooter. The dual-purpose electric scooter includes a deck assembly, a handlebar assembly detachably connected with the deck assembly, two front wheels installed on a bottom side of the deck assembly, and a back wheel installed on the bottom side of the deck assembly. The back wheel is a motor integrated wheel and configured to drive the electric scooter move.

A method for operating an electric vehicle has the steps of: determining if at least one of a speed of the vehicle and a speed of an electric motor of the vehicle is zero; in response to the at least one of the speed being zero, determining if a reverse actuator is actuated; in response to the reverse actuator being actuated, starting a timer, then determining if the reverse actuator has been actuated without interruption for a predetermined amount of time; in response to the reverse actuator having been actuated without interruption for the predetermined amount of time, changing an operation mode of the electric motor from one of a forward mode and a reverse mode to another of the forward mode and the reverse mode. An electric snowmobile and other methods for operating an electric vehicle are disclosed.

Provided are a self-balancing scooter and a control method thereof, and a kart powered by the same. The self-balancing scooter includes two scooter bodies on which foot boards and motorized wheels are disposed, and a rotating shaft device, where the rotating shaft device includes a rotating shaft, two axle seats, and a torsion limiting mechanism. The torsion limiting mechanism controls a rotation angle by the fit between a limiting portion on the rotating shaft and a fitting portion on one axle seat. The present disclosure realizes torsion limit by directly using the rotating shaft and the axle seats without the use of an additional element (for example, a limiting shaft), thus simplifying the structure of the rotating shaft device and facilitating assembly.

Aspects concern a battery pack for mounting on a vehicle. The battery pack may comprise an elongated cell rack comprising one or more battery cells arranged therein. The battery pack may comprise a tubular battery case at least partially surrounding the elongated cell rack. The battery pack may comprise a top seal cover sealing a top portion of the elongated cell rack. The battery pack may comprise a bottom seal cover arranged at a bottom portion of the elongated cell rack. The battery pack may comprise a female pin receptacle arranged on the bottom seal cover at the bottom portion of the elongated cell rack.

An electric vehicle includes a stem and a base with wheels. The base is at a first end of the stem, with symmetrical elements of the base opposed across a stem axis. Elements on each side include a wheel, a drive motor, a platform and pivot joints. The wheel has an axis of rotation. The drive motor is connected to the wheel. The platform is between the wheel and the stem. A first pivot joint connects the stem and the platform. A second pivot joint connects the platform and the wheel. In a first orientation, the platforms are substantially perpendicular to the stem and in a second orientation the platforms are substantially parallel to the stem. The wheel axes are substantially parallel to each other and are substantially perpendicular to the stem axis in the first orientation and the second orientation.
