Abstract: A modular cargo vehicle for transportation of cargo by a rider. The cargo vehicle includes a tow cycle, a front cargo module, and a trailer cargo module. The tow cycle has a rider seat, a front axle with a front wheel, a rear axle with one rear wheel, and a pedal crank to facilitate driving of the tow cycle by the rider via a pedal crank. A rear end of the front cargo module is coupled to a front end of the tow cycle. The front cargo module has a front axle with a front wheel, a cargo-receiving area, and no rear axle. A front end of the trailer cargo module is coupled to a rear end of the tow cycle. The trailer cargo module has a cargo-receiving area and an axially central axle with two wheels.

Abstract: A battery pack for a vehicle includes a plurality of battery modules arranged in a first predetermined pattern, with each battery module of the plurality of battery modules including a plurality of battery cells arranged in a second predetermined pattern. Each battery module also includes an enclosure surrounding the plurality of cells and configured to function as a structural component of at least one of the battery pack or the vehicle.

Abstract: A modular rolling chassis assembly for an electric vehicle includes a central housing extending from a front end to a rear end to define a central cavity. An electric energy storage system (ESS) is disposed or housed in the central cavity. A front suspension module is connected to the front end of the central housing and a rear suspension module is connected to rear end of the central housing to complete a modular build for the rolling chassis assembly which improves on the large, heavy and cost intensive integral chassis associated with the prior skateboard architectures.
