Patent number: 11939023Abstract: A micromobility electric vehicle includes a front storage volume and a rear storage volume. The front storage volume may be defined on two sides by an angled footboard portion and a column. The rear storage volume may be defined on two sides by a curved footboard portion and a seat post. Retainers including an elastic member may be employed in the front and/or rear storage volume to releasably secure objects of different sizes and shapes in the front or rear storage volumes. Hooks may be employed in the front and/or rear storage volumes to allow an object with a strap to be supported in the front or rear storage volume.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Gregoire Ludovic Vincent Vandenbussche, Peter Rex Luedtke, Daniel Lami Goldstein

Patent number: 11837033Abstract: A micromobility electric vehicle comprising an electronic device holder and an integrated display to improve a user experience with the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle comprises handlebars coupled to an upper portion of a stem and configured to steer the vehicle, an electronic device holder having spring-loaded arms that retract at least partially into the handlebars, wherein the spring-loaded arms are configured to apply a force against edges of an electronic device when arranged between the spring-loaded arms, wherein the electronic device has a mobile display, and an integrated display arranged on a top surface of the upper portion of the stem and positioned between the spring-loaded arms of the electronic device holder, wherein the integrated display is configured to display information about the micromobility electric vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Gregoire Ludovic Vincent Vandenbussche, Daniel Lami Goldstein

Patent number: 11814133Abstract: The disclosed method may include configuring one or more brakes based on a braking-related attribute expected at a geographic location being traversed by a personal mobility vehicle. By configuring the application of brakes of a personal mobility vehicle based on terrain, environmental conditions, and other geographic features, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels based at least in part on the location of the personal mobility vehicle. By configuring brake engagement based on a combination of controls and map data, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2019Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Dor Levi, Carlos Ellis Whitt, John Peter Walpole, Nicholaus Ian Lubinski, Steven James Martisauskas, Lucas Jon Van Houten, Gregoire Ludovic Vincent Vandenbussche

Publication number: 20210086859Abstract: A micromobility electric vehicle with a controller that operates the vehicle in a walk-assist mode, expanding the population of users that can comfortably use the vehicle. In walk-assist mode, the speed of the vehicle may be limited to a walking speed, regardless of the position of a throttle. In contrast, in a riding mode, the maximum speed may be higher. The walk-assist mode may be entered or exited based on output of one or more sensors, indicating that the user is or is not riding the vehicle or that a user is or is not pushing the vehicle. Such sensors may be positioned in a seat, in a floorboard or on the handlebars of the vehicle. Alternatively or additionally, the sensor may be associated with a control, such as a tab configured to be pressed by a user's thumb when the user is pushing the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2019Publication date: March 25, 2021Applicant: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Lucas Jon Van Houten, Gregoire Ludovic Vincent Vandenbussche, Mark Phillip Holveck

Publication number: 20210086860Abstract: A universal micromobility vehicle configured for use in a vehicle share system comprises a frame, a footboard fixed to the frame, a seat fixed to the frame, handlebars, and front and rear wheels supported by the frame. The seat is separated from the footboard in a vertical direction by a fixed distance between 500 mm and 600 mm. The handlebars are separated from the footboard in the vertical direction by a fixed distance between 700 mm and 900 mm. The footboard is fixed to the frame at a fixed vertical distance relative to the lower surfaces of the front and rear wheels between 160 mm and 240 mm. The seat is fixed to the frame at a fixed vertical distance relative to the lower surfaces of the front and rear wheels between 700 mm and 800 mm.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: Lucas Jon Van Houten, Conrad Xavier Murphy, Nathalie Delsaer, Mark Phillip Holveck, Gregoire Ludovic Vincent Vandenbussche, Andrew Michael Reimer, Daniel Lami Goldstein, Peter Rex Luedtke

Publication number: 20210086769Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include determining, based at least on one or more sensors of the micromobility vehicle, one or more of an environmental condition associated with the micromobility vehicle, a ground surface condition associated with the micromobility vehicle, or a deviation from an expected load of the micromobility vehicle. The method additionally includes determining a torque profile associated with the MV based at least on the one or more of the environmental condition, the ground surface condition, and the deviation from the expected load. The method also includes determining a torque magnitude from the torque profile based at least on a throttle position detected by the MV. The method further includes causing the MV to move based at least on the determined torque magnitude. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2019Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventor: Gregoire Ludovic Vincent Vandenbussche

Publication number: 20210046911Abstract: A system for multiple brakes intelligently controlled by a single brake input on a personal mobility vehicle. By determining a front and rear brake differential based on the position and weight of the rider as well as the environmental and vehicle conditions, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels. By applying different braking systems based on a combination of controls and sensors, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2019Publication date: February 18, 2021Inventors: Dor Levi, Carlos Ellis Whitt, John Peter Walpole, Nicholaus Ian Lubinski, Steven James Martisauskas, Lucas Jon Van Houten, Gregoire Ludovic Vincent Vandenbussche
