In vehicle acrobatics, a wheelie, or wheelstand, is a vehicle maneuver in which the front wheel or wheels come off the ground due to sufficient torque being applied to the rear wheel or wheels, or rider motion relative to the vehicle. Wheelies are usually associated with bicycles and motorcycles, but can be done with other vehicles such as cars, especially in drag racing and tractor pulling.

Exercise scooter with stunt features
InactiveUS6715779B2Stable positionThe implementation process is simpleFoot-driven leversRider propulsionHeel contactWheelie
A compact scooter supported by a pair of wheels is propelled by the cyclic operation of a pair of stabilized pedals by a standing user with hands on a handlebar. The elongate pedals having curved ends are connected to a crank and rocker link for predetermined pedal angles configured to maintain heel contact during the cyclic operation. The feet are positioned on pedal extensions with the heels of the feet rearward of the crank pivots to develop superior crank torque imposed upon the wheels for faster speed and better startup acceleration. Stunt features are provided to perform wheelies, rail grinding and step maneuvers.

Motorcycle wheelie simulator
InactiveUS20050175968A1Simulating performanceCosmonautic condition simulationsSimulatorsEquipment OperatorElectronic communication
An apparatus for performing realistic motorcycle stunts while stationary includes a motorcycle, a restraint bracket, a road simulation means, a failsafe mechanism frame savers, an exhaust vent system, and safety protection. The restraint bracket comprises a bracket system for the attachment of the motorcycle to the apparatus. The road simulation means comprises an apparatus such as a 900 lb. Barrel that spins on two pivot points creating 100% balance under the rear wheel or front wheel of the motorcycle for “popping a wheelie” or performing an “endo” that can simulate actual road conditions. The failsafe mechanism frame savers comprises a series of sensors in electronic communication with the restraint bracket and road simulation means to ensure that the motorcycle does not roll over on one side or pitch back too far. The exhaust vent system comprises a tubular system in fluid communication with the motorcycle exhaust for venting exhaust gasses away from the proximity of the apparatus, the operator and any bystanders. The safety protection comprises general personal safety gear and a series of pads and nets located in areas around the apparatus to protect riders should they fall from the apparatus.

Exercise scooter with stunt features
The present invention relates to a human powered exercise scooter. More particularly, the invention allows a standing user to power the wheeled scooter by moving stabilized pedals with the feet along a closed loop arcuate curve to drive at least one wheel of the scooter. Further, steering, hand brake and stunt features are provided. The traditional kick scooter comprises a pair of small wheels, steering and a platform to support at least one foot. Propulsion is achieved by pushing the scooter with one foot in contact with the ground while the other foot remains on the platform. While this type scooter is popular today among youngsters, the scooter is slow as a means of transport with a bumpy ride and tends to exercise one leg differently than the other. Stunt features are provided to perform certain tricks such as wheelies, rail grinding and step maneuvers. The pedals have curved ends to accomodate the feet during the downward power stroke.

Power mower with riding platform for supporting standing-operator
InactiveUS6862872B2Less susceptible to impacting groundLawn-mowersVehiclesDrive wheelCentrifugal force
A zero-turning-radius power lawn mower for operation by a standing-occupant includes first and second independently driven and controlled rear drive wheels mounted on separate drive axles. A riding platform for supporting the standing-occupant or operator is located between the first and second rear drive wheels. The rear drive wheels are independently driveable in both the forward and reverse directions at variable speeds so as to allow for substantially zero-radius-turning of the mower about a central turning point. The riding platform is positioned at this turning point so that the standing-occupant remains substantially unaffected by centrifugal force created during approximate zero-radius-turning of the mower thereby allowing the mower to take such turns at higher speeds. Such positioning of the platform also provides for improved maneuverability, reduces the likelihood that the platform will bottom out when the mower goes over bumps, and creates a safer mower less susceptible to tipping due to the resulting low center of gravity. The low center of gravity created by the position of the riding platform for the standing-operator also results in the mower having improved traction and being less likely to pop “wheelies” upon acceleration.

Engine control tilt switch for motorcycles
InactiveUS6938717B2Low costEasy to usePedestrian/occupant safety arrangementCycle safety equipmentsCause injuryWheelie
A tilt switch to be carried by a motorcycle and connected in an engine control circuit to control the rotational speed of the motorcycle engine in response to the front end of the motorcycle lifting off the ground during rapid acceleration events (e.g. a “wheelie”) to prevent the motorcycle from flipping over and causing injury or death to the operator and / or his passenger. Also connected in the engine control circuit is an on / off override switch that is located at the front of the motorcycle so as to be in easy reach of the operator. When the front wheel of the motorcycle is elevated with the override switch moved to the on position, the tilt switch will assume a closed switch condition to complete the engine control circuit. The engine control circuit then causes the engine speed of the motorcycle to slow such that the acceleration of the motorcycle will be correspondingly reduced, whereby the front wheel will automatically return to the ground to prevent the motorcycle from flipping over. With the override switch in the off position, the engine control circuit will be disabled regardless of the level of the motorcycle and the switch condition of the tilt switch carried thereby.

A lift system 100 may comprise two sets of two pistons with each set of pistons attached to an upper cross bar 210 and a lower cross bar 275, with the lower cross bar having distal ends comprising distal insertion areas 276 with the distal insertion areas passing through a first void 241 defined within a wheelie bar 240 and the distal insertion areas 276 reaching further to move a wedge bar 270. To lift a patient from a lowered position, a piston moves a lower cross bar 275 which in turn moves a wedge bar 270 into a wedge 280, causing the lower cross bar to break out of plane with a top bar 205. The use of two wheelie gears 220 ensures that the lift remains horizontal even if piston forces are not uniform. The use of four top bars 205 allows for folded storage.
