Publication number: 20260260992Abstract: A structural battery assembly can include a housing defining a cavity. The housing can include a first battery connector that can form a first structural connection between the housing and a first component of a micromobility device. The structural battery assembly can include a second battery connector that can form a structural connection between the housing and a second component of the micromobility device. The structural battery assembly can include a plurality of battery cells disposed in the cavity. The first battery connector can receive a first force from the first component. The second battery connector can transfer a second force, based at least in part on the first force, to the second component of the micromobility device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2026Publication date: September 3, 2026Applicant: Also, Inc.Inventors: Adam Christopher Bender, Ryan James Boris, Mark Oliver Dixon Kaufman, Nicholas Harold Anderson

Publication number: 20260249948Abstract: A vehicle can include a frame, a first wheel and a second wheel rotatably coupled with the frame, and a drive unit coupled with the frame. The drive unit can include a pedal assembly that can receive mechanical input from a user and a motor generator coupled with the pedal assembly. The motor generator can include a rotor and windings. The motor generator can operate in a generator mode and can vary an amount of resistive torque exerted on the pedal assembly and an amount of power generated per rotation of the rotor. The motor generator can operate in a transducer mode to generate a plurality of torque values, each transmitted to the pedal assembly. A transition between the plurality of torque values can produce a tactile sensation by the pedal assembly. The generator mode and the transducer mode can be operable concurrently and non-concurrently.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2026Publication date: August 27, 2026Applicant: Also, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Louis HALL, Christopher YU, Patrick HARRINGTON
