Abstract: A metal oxide varistor (MOV) device including a MOV chip having first and second electrodes disposed on opposing side thereof, a first lead frame portion including a first contact tab electrically connected to the first electrode and a first lead contiguous with the first contact tab and extending away from the MOV chip, a second lead frame portion including a second contact tab electrically connected to the second electrode and a second lead contiguous with the second contact tab and extending away from the MOV chip, and a device body encasing the MOV chip, the first contact tab, the second contact tab, and portions of the first and second leads, wherein the first and second leads extend out of the device body and are bent into flat abutment with a bottom surface of the device body.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a lightweight, portable, electric vehicle having a novel steering mechanism, a low profile suspension and drive mechanism, and which also provides a superior ride quality, handling, and drivability. The vehicle generally comprises a frame and at least one suspension and motor assembly. Each suspension and motor assembly includes at least one leaf spring mounted to the frame, a motor connected to the leaf spring, the motor having a drive shaft, and a wheel rotatably connected to the drive shaft. The vehicle also includes means for powering the motor and means for controlling to enable a user to drive the vehicle.
