Hover board tricycle

An improvement to a hover board provides additional support and balance to an operator of the hover board. The improvement converts a two wheeled hover board, having no structure for an operator to hold onto with the operator's hands, into a three wheeled vehicle with a handle to which an operator may hold onto. A platform member couples to the hover board, while still allowing the hover board controls to function. A handle member extends upwardly from the platform member as a handle. A third wheel depends from the underside of the platform member, where the third wheel provides additional stability.

Electric-Powered Self-Balancing Unicycle With Steering Linkage Between Handlebars And Wheel Forks

A one-wheeled vehicle includes electric motors, a self-balancing system, and steering mechanism, wherein the electric motors and self-balancing system are disposed within the wheel of the one-wheeled vehicle. Side stirrup legs, which have foot pegs suitable for placement of a rider's feet while riding, are pivoted with respect to the wheel forks, such that the side stirrup legs may be rotated backwards and act as a kickstand for the one-wheeled vehicle. The side stirrup legs may be weighted with, for example, one or more batteries may be attached to the side stirrup legs to provide a weight distribution such that the one-wheeled vehicle does not fall forward when parked. A computational resource such as a microcontroller, or microprocessor-based controller, receives input signals indicative of operation of the twist throttle and brake, and responsive thereto produces signals to adjust the tilt angle relative to the acceleration and thereby reduce the need for a rider to lean forward or backwards.

Light Electric Vehicle Ride Share System and Method

Methods and systems are described for operating an interconnected network of autonomous battery powered electric vehicle (BEV) charging stations that maintain fully charged BEVs, for real-time self-guided exchange or rental with little down-time to a user. By locking or otherwise disabling low charge or uncharged vehicles until the vehicle charging is complete, users are assured they are getting a vehicle that has enough charge to get them to their destination. The user can view all available vehicles and their locations using a wireless mobile device on the system network and, with appropriate permissions, reserve and unlock any available vehicle via wireless networking. The locations in a ride share system of docking hubs with electrical power for re-charging BEVs is determined by the commute needs (particularly last mile commute needs) of users of the ride share system as they subscribe to the ride share program which utilizes the system.
