Abstract: A personal vehicle system including a control system and at least one wheel motor coupled to the personal vehicle system and subject to control by the control system. A control system for a personal vehicle system including steps for calibrating the control system, where the control system includes a sensor system having load sensors incorporated into the personal vehicle system and also having lean forward and lean backward outputs, a user interface that prompts a user to lean forward and backward and allows a user to input a sensitivity value, and an electronic hardware component for calculating a normalization value where the wheel motor current is controlled as a function of the normalization value.

Abstract: A personal vehicle system including a deck having a substantially flat top surface, where the top surface is substantially flat and is of sufficient area to support two feet of a user, a truck coupled to the deck, where the truck consist of a first portion coupled to the deck and a second portion that tilts relative to the first portion, and a wheel motor coupled to the second portion of the truck. A personal vehicle system that includes a deck, a truck coupled to the deck, and a wheel motor coupled to the truck, where the wheel motor has a passive cooling system. The passive cooling system includes at least one endcap that rotates about a wheel rotation axis during operation of the wheel motor and the endcap has at least one fin.
