Abstract: Various electric scooter docking stations are described herein. In some embodiments, the docking stations facilitate the collection, movement, and/or storage of electric scooters in a compact, elegant, and efficient configuration. For example, the docking stations can be configured to take advantage of the unique shape of a scooter, providing the storage and positioning of many scooters in a compact area. Also, the docking stations can be simple structures that facilitate the self-powered movement of electric scooters within a station.

Abstract: Various embodiments directed to manufacturing a battery assembly or battery pack are described. In some embodiments, the manufacturing process utilizes a welding jig to facilitate the placement and disposition of cell connection materials to battery cells when forming a battery assembly or pack. Using the jig, the connection materials can be fused to the cells using a laser welding process. In doing so, the process enables certain materials, typically unsuitable for welding processes (e.g., spot welding) to be utilized as connection materials between cells.

Abstract: An electric scooter docking station facilitates an electric scooter charging other electric scooters within the docking station. The docking station can identify scooters having excess charge, and, when they are docked, cause these scooters to charge other scooters via bus bars or other components of a docking station.
