In operation, the drive assembly adjusts the velocity of the ground-contacting member based on one or more distances of the board from a surface below the board as detected by the sensors. As a result, the system is able to maintain a desired velocity when ascending, descending or traversing uneven ground without the need for excessive and sometimes impossible tilting of the board.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2015Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: EQUALIA LLCInventor: Robert A.
