  • Patent number: 8267210
    Abstract: A vehicle having a plurality of wheels and elements, to drive at least one wheel to propel the vehicle is provided with a frame and a power supply assembly for delivering power to the drive elements. The power supply assembly includes a battery and a housing structure surrounding the battery. The power supply assembly is removeably supported on the vehicle frame. A latching mechanism is provided having a pivoting actuator. The actuator moves between a locking position and a release position. The actuator movement displacing a pin disposed in combination with the housing between a locking position, wherein the pin fixedly engages the power supply assembly to the frame, and a release position, wherein the pin disengages and permits the power supply assembly to be removed from the frame.

  • Patent number: 7431109
    Abstract: A power supply assembly is provided for a vehicle, such as a Personalized Motorized Vehicle (PMV), including a detachable mounting assembly therefor which facilitates the ease of attachment of a Power Supply Unit (PSU) to a main structural frame of the vehicle, provides a positive electrical and structural connection therebetween, and integrates the power supply assembly with the external geometry of the vehicle to provide an aesthetically pleasing external appearance. The power supply assembly includes a pair of PSUs. A segment of one PSU unit overlaps a segment of another PSU unit and another segment of one PSU overlaps a portion of the main structural frame. Electrical connectors are disposed in combination with the overlapping housing segments for electrically coupling the PSUs and at least one PSU to the vehicle. The power supply, assembly, furthermore includes a retention subassembly for structurally connecting each PSU to the main structural frame.

A segment of one PSU unit overlaps a segment of another PSU unit and another segment of one PSU overlaps a portion of the main structural frame. Electrical connectors are disposed in combination with the overlapping housing segments for electrically coupling the PSUs and at least one PSU to the PMV.

  • Publication number: 20050034907
    Abstract: A personal mobility vehicle is steered by handlebars. A lever is mounted on the handlebars and rotatable in either of two opposite directions by the hands holding the handlebars. A potentiometer connected to the lever comprises a wiper on a resistive track, centered by a spring. The track has a central null area formed by material of lower resistance, so that the output voltage is constant. When the lever is moved away from the centered position, the wiper moves along the track and the output voltage rises or falls. A controller controls the speed and direction of the vehicle in response to the output voltage of the potentiometer. When the wiper is on the null area, the controller stops the vehicle. The size of the null area facilitates ensuring the centered position coincides with the null area, so the vehicle stops when the lever is released.
