Abstract: A transport device for coupling to a hitch of a vehicle has a frame configured to carry an object, a base on a portion of the frame and located to contact a support surface, and a hitch mount carried by the frame. The hitch mount is arranged so that the base can rest on the support surface and the hitch mount can be positioned adjacent to and contact a coupler of the hitch on the vehicle. The transport device can then be pivoted on the coupler about the hitch mount to raise the base off the support surface and can then be secured to the hitch to be transported by the vehicle. The base can be a wheel such that the transport device can roll up to a hitch, drop down onto the hitch, and then be pivoted up and off the support surface and secured to the hitch.

Abstract: A wheeled personal transportation device, such as a skateboard or a scooter, that is convertible between a riding configuration and an inclined configuration.
