Abstract: An electric vehicle includes a stem and a base with wheels. The base is at a first end of the stem, with symmetrical elements of the base opposed across a stem axis. Elements on each side include a wheel, a drive motor, a platform and pivot joints. The wheel has an axis of rotation. The drive motor is connected to the wheel. The platform is between the wheel and the stem. A first pivot joint connects the stem and the platform. A second pivot joint connects the platform and the wheel. In a first orientation, the platforms are substantially perpendicular to the stem and in a second orientation the platforms are substantially parallel to the stem. The wheel axes are substantially parallel to each other and are substantially perpendicular to the stem axis in the first orientation and the second orientation.

Abstract: A child carrier with a carrying structure having a front portion and a rear portion. Between the front portion and the rear portion an accommodating space is defined between which a seating unit may be suspended. The seating unit forms a shell-like seat structure. At least one portion of the seat structure is cup-shaped. The seating unit also includes a height-adjustable seat middle portion. The seat middle portion is designed to support a child at a predetermined seat height. The seating unit also includes thigh support portions. The thigh support portions each provide a thigh support surface for a respective thigh of a child. The thigh support portions are coupled to the seat middle portion in such a way that an adjustment of the seat height simultaneously results in an adjustment of the thigh support surface.
