20150352430 | WEARABLE PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM - Motorized skating systems and methods for controlling the systems are disclosed. One exemplary system may include a primary skate and a secondary skate. The primary skate may include a sensor configured to detect a tilting signal. The primary skate may also include a first processor. The processor may be configured to determine a first control signal for moving the primary skate based on the tilting signal and determine a motion signal for moving the secondary skate based on the first control signal. The primary skate may further include a first communication interface configured to send the motion signal to the secondary skate. The secondary skate may include a second communication interface configured to receive the motion signal from the first communication interface. The secondary skate may also include a second processor configured to determine a second control signal for moving the secondary skate based on the received motion signal. | 12-10-2015 |
20150196831 | MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION DEVICE - A wheel assembly comprises a wheel, a transmission assembly mounted on the wheel, and a motor coupled to the wheel through the transmission assembly. The motor includes an axle extending in a radial direction of the wheel. The transmission assembly transmits a rotational motion of the axle to a rotational motion of the wheel. | 07-16-2015 |
20140158446 | WEARABLE MOBILITY DEVICE - A wearable mobility device comprising a base for the placement of a shoe, the base including a heel-support section, a battery pack, a tail reflector, and a wireless receiver. The device including a first wheel having a wheel hub motor embedded therein, the motor rotatably connected to a first partial axial shaft connected to the base. The device including a second wheel having a wheel hub motor controller embedded therein, the motor controller rotatably connected to a second partial axial shaft connected to the base and operative to control a speed of rotation of the first wheel and the second wheel. The device also including a remote control for controlling the speed of rotation of the first wheel and the second wheel, the remote control operative to transmit one or more control signals to the wireless receiver, the wireless receiver being electrically coupled to the motor controller. | 06-12-2014 |
20140090910 | FOLDABLE MOBILITY DEVICE - A foldable mobility device includes a chassis assembly, a steering assembly rotatably coupled to the chassis assembly, a seat assembly coupled to the chassis assembly through a first folding mechanism configured to convert the seat assembly between a first folded position and a first unfolded position, a front wheel assembly coupled to the steering assembly and configured to be rotated by the steering assembly for steering the foldable mobility device, and one or more rear wheel assemblies coupled to the chassis assembly through a second folding mechanism configured to convert the one or more rear wheel assemblies between a second folded position and a second unfolded position. | 04-03-2014 |
