Abstract: A vehicle includes a wheel and a vehicle body that is supported by the wheel for travelling on a riding surface. The vehicle also includes a light emitting device that is mounted to one of the wheel and the vehicle body. The light emitting device is operable to emit light toward the riding surface to create a defined image on the riding surface.
Abstract: A two wheeled vehicle includes a main body, a first wheel that is coupled to the main body, and a second wheel that is coupled to the main body. The vehicle also includes a motor that is supported by the main body and that drives at least one of the first and second wheels in rotation relative to the main body. Moreover, the vehicle includes a controller assembly including a controller and a controller housing. The controller is operable to control the motor to thereby control driving rotation of the at least one of the first and second wheels. The controller is housed within the controller housing, and the controller housing is coupled to the main body. The controller and the motor are in severable but operable communication when the controller housing is coupled to the main body.
Abstract: A wheel assembly includes a tire and an electrical motor having a stator and a rotor. The wheel assembly also includes a rim that is encircled by the tire. At least one of the stator and rotor is directly exposed to the rim. Both the stator and the rotor are housed by the rim. The electrical motor is operable to drivingly rotate the rim and the tire.
Abstract: A two wheeled vehicle with a first wheel and a second wheel includes a first electrical motor operable to drivingly rotate the first wheel and a second electrical motor operable to drivingly rotate the second wheel. The vehicle also includes a controller operable to independently control the first and second electrical motors to drive rotation of the first and second wheels independent of each other.

Abstract: A two wheeled vehicle includes a main body, a first wheel that is rotatably coupled to the main body, and a second wheel that is rotatably coupled to the main body. The vehicle also includes a motor that is supported by the main body and that drivingly rotates at least one of the first and second wheels. Moreover, the vehicle includes a controller assembly including a controller and a controller housing. The controller is operable to control the motor to thereby control driving rotation of the at least one of the first and second wheels. The controller is housed within the controller housing, and the controller housing is removably coupled to the main body. The controller and the motor are in severable but operable communication when the controller housing is removably coupled to the main body.
