A battery powered electric scooter (100) having two front wheels, a deck (102) and tiller (104), and a dual mode steering system responsive to turn the wheels upon rotation of the tiller (104) about a vertical axis and/or upon rotation of the deck (102) about a horizontal axis.

This specification relates to portable conveyances, and in particular to a dual-function apparatus that functions as a rack in a first attachment position on the portable conveyance when the portable conveyance is in an unfolded position, and that functions as a stand in a second attachment position on the portable conveyance when the portable conveyance is in a folded position.

A locking structure is applied to a folding frame. The folding frame includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame includes a first hole. The second frame includes a second hole. The second frame can rotate relative to the first frame to fasten to the first frame. The locking structure includes a case, a first pivoting axis, a second pivoting axis, a fastening column, a connecting column and a third pivoting axis. The case includes a top, a bottom and a container. The first pivoting axis is pivotally connected to the bottom and the first hole. The second pivoting axis is pivotally connected to the second hole. The second pivoting axis includes a fastening groove. The fastening column is located in the container. The connecting column includes a connecting column first end and a connecting column second end.

Provided is a traveling apparatus including at least, with respect to a traveling direction, a front wheel and a rear wheel and on which a user rides when travelling. The traveling apparatus includes a front wheel supporting member configured to rotatably support the front wheel, a rear wheel supporting member configured to rotatably support the rear wheel, an adjusting mechanism configured to adjust a wheel base length between the front wheel and the rear wheel by changing a relative position of the front wheel supporting member and the rear wheel supporting member, and a driving unit configured to drive at least one of the front wheel and rear wheel. The wheel base length adjusted by the adjusting mechanism is associated with a speed of the traveling apparatus achieved by driving the driving unit in such a way that the longer the wheel base length, the greater the speed becomes.

A tiltable vehicle has a pair of front wheels coupled to a tiltable chassis by a tilt linkage, such that the pair of front wheels and the chassis are configured to tilt in unison with respect to a roll axis of the chassis. The tilt linkage includes a four-bar linkage having a pair of upper bar segments coupled to the chassis at spaced-apart respective inboard joints. In some examples, the inboard joints of the upper bar segments are each disposed outboard of a central chassis joint of a lower bar of the tilt linkage. An orientation sensor is configured to detect directional information regarding a net force vector applied to the chassis, and a tilt actuator operatively coupled to the chassis and configured to selectively tilt the chassis. A controller is configured to selectively control the tilt actuator based on the directional information from the orientation sensor.

A bicycle retractable bicycle cross bar adaptor includes a bar having a first tube, a second tube and a control unit. The first tube has a first connection end and the second tube has a second connection end. The control unit includes a first part and a second part. The first part includes a head on the first end thereof, outer threads formed to the outer surface of the first part, and multiple plates extending from the second end of the first parts. The second connection end is slidably inserted into the first connection end in the first part. The second part is rotatably and movably mounted to the first part to press the plates to clamp the second tube to secure the second tube, or to release the plates so that the second tube is movable relative to the first tube.

A Scooter comprising a base board and a pair of rear casters. A flexible band couples and coordinates the rotation of each of the rear caster wheels. The Scooter has a forward hand grip subassembly which comprises a mounting foot, a rearwardly directed leg, a tubular neck, a steering shaft having at least one wheel, and a directional control member having a pair of associated hand grips coupled removably coupled thereto.

Disclosed is a children's vehicle, which comprises a main vehicle frame extending in a front-rear direction, two front wheels disposed respectively on the left and right sides of the bottom-front portion of the main vehicle frame, a joystick extending upwardly inclined from front to rear, a sliding member slidingly disposed on the main vehicle frame, and a connecting bar rotatably connected between the joystick and the sliding member, wherein a lower portion of the joystick is connected to rotatably a front portion of the main vehicle frame. The children's vehicle further comprises first connecting rods, one end of each of which is rotatably connected on the main vehicle frame, and second connecting rods rotatably connected between the first connecting rods and the sliding member, the front wheels are mounted on the other ends of the first connecting rods. When the children's vehicle switches from an unfolded state to a folded state, the joystick is folded close to the main vehicle frame, the second connecting rods drive the first connecting rods to close to the main vehicle frame, and the two front wheels are folded close to the left and right sides of the main vehicle frame. When folded, the children's vehicle is very flat and compact, and the overall height and width thereof are greatly reduced.

A tiltable vehicle has a pair of front wheels coupled to a tiltable chassis by a tilt linkage, such that the pair of front wheels and the chassis are configured to tilt in unison with respect to a roll axis of the chassis. The tilt linkage includes a four-bar linkage having a pair of upper bar segments coupled to the chassis at spaced-apart respective inboard joints. In some examples, the inboard joints of the upper bar segments are each disposed outboard of a central chassis joint of a lower bar of the tilt linkage. An orientation sensor is configured to detect directional information regarding a net force vector applied to the chassis, and a tilt actuator operatively coupled to the chassis and configured to selectively tilt the chassis. A controller is configured to selectively control the tilt actuator based on the directional information from the orientation sensor.

In an aspect, a pivot joint for a collapsing foot-deck-based vehicle is described, comprising a foot deck, at least two wheels coupled to the foot deck, and a handlebar assembly coupled to the foot deck via a locking pivot joint, also referred to as a locking swivel joint, the handlebar assembly comprising at least one handle, the locking pivot joint having a pivot axis that is generally unparallel with a horizontal plane defined by the lowermost surfaces of the at least two wheels, the handlebar assembly being selectively pivotable via the locking pivot joint between a riding configuration in which the handle is generally distal from the foot deck and a collapsed configuration in which the handle is generally proximal to the foot deck.
