A braking apparatus for stopping a children's kick scooter is described. The braking apparatus comprises a hand-held remote control to transmit a command signal when a radio-frequency (RF) signal transmitter is activated. The braking apparatus also comprises a remote control signal receiver located on the children's kick scooter to receive the command signal and convert it to an electric current. The braking apparatus additionally comprises a linear actuator to receive the electric current. The linear actuator comprises a linear actuator electric motor and a linear actuator shaft. The linear actuator electric motor is activated by the electric current and moves the linear actuator shaft from a first position to a second position. The braking apparatus further comprises a brake system to press a metal plate against a rear wheel of the children's kick scooter, thereby stopping the children's kick scooter when the linear actuator shaft is in the second position.

The present disclosure relates to a foldable vehicle and to several exemplary components thereof, which may comprise a hinge cassette and a rear wheel brake assembly among other components. In some examples, the vehicle has a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration, where in the folded configuration, the at least one rear wheel nests within the at least one opening.

A traveling apparatus includes a frame, a wheel body, a rotating shaft, and a brake assembly. The wheel body is rotatably arranged on the frame, and is configured to roll on a bearing surface. The rotating shaft is connected to the frame, and the brake assembly is rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft. On a rotation path of the brake assembly, the brake assembly has an idle position in which the brake assembly defines a gap with a working surface of the wheel body, and a brake position in which the brake assembly is configured to be in contact with the working surface of the wheel body. The working surface is a surface of the wheel body configured to be in contact with the bearing surface.
