Sustainable Methods for Repairing and Extending Skateboard Life

Motorized wheel assembly for lightweight personal electric vehicles like skateboards, scooters, roller skates. The motorized wheel includes a tire mounted on an electric motor that directly drives the wheel. The wheel can quickly attach to an axle with a socket-plug interface. The axle is housed in a continuous duct with the hanger of the vehicle. Wiring runs through the duct to connect the motor to the vehicle electronics. This protects the wiring from damage. The quick release wheel allows easy maintenance and replacement.

Retrofittable modular motorized skateboard kit that allows users to easily convert their existing non-motorized skateboards into electric skateboards. The kit includes removable components like wheels with integrated motors, battery packs, control units, and attachment brackets. The components can be easily swapped out and connected to the skateboard deck using fasteners. This allows users to upgrade or replace individual components like batteries or motors without needing a new skateboard. It also enables users to convert their existing skateboards to electric without needing a new board.

A folding worktable that can be used as a worktable, scaffold, carrier, and creeper. It has a frame with four retractable legs that fold inward. The legs have telescoping sections and limit stops to prop up the table. The tabletop is a double-sided board that can be inserted into the frame using guiding plates and locked in place with springs. The top surface of the frame bosses is higher than the tabletop. The legs have a handle for carrying, slots for tool storage, and a socket for power connections. The table folds compactly when not in use.

A modular skateboard system that allows easy customization of wheelbase, truck position, and accessories without drilling holes or permanently attaching components. The skateboard has slots on the bottom deck for attachments with detents to secure them. Accessories like trucks, wheels, pivots, and ice blades can be interchanged by sliding them into the slots. This allows configuring the skateboard with different wheelbases, turning radii, and trick capabilities. The deck has slots on top for tethering handles and recesses for storing them when not in use. The deck also has magnets, clips, and flexible areas for securing shoes and preventing them from falling off.

Hinge mechanism for a skateboard that allows improved acceleration and durability compared to conventional skateboards with twistable boards. The hinge connects the front and rear boards of the skateboard and allows them to twist. The hinge has a fixed cam inside one housing and a movable cam inside the other housing. The cams engage to allow twisting. A spring between the cams provides elastic restoring force. This improves driving force compared to simple twistable hinges. The hinge can be disassembled for maintenance.

A modular skateboard system that allows easy customization of truck and wheel configurations without drilling holes in the deck. The skateboard has slots on the bottom of the deck to attach accessories using securing members like tabs or clips. This allows interchangeable trucks and wheels in various configurations. The deck also has features like recesses for tethers and magnets for attaching handles or shoes. The modularity enables customization without needing to drill holes in the deck.

A portable skateboard that can be easily disassembled into separate components for carrying and storage in a backpack or case, and then reassembled for riding. The skateboard has a multi-piece deck that joins together using locking mechanisms on the truck mounts. Removable truck assemblies attach to the deck sections. This allows the deck sections and trucks to be separated for portability. The locking mechanisms secure the trucks to the deck when joined for riding. It provides a lightweight, compact skateboard that can be carried like a backpack item when not in use, and then assembled for riding when needed.

Device to facilitate removing and replacing components of skateboard trucks without needing to remove the base plate. It involves a pedestal supported below the base plate that holds the nut at a fixed angle. The pedestal has a sloped guide platform with an upstanding heel section to prevent rotation. The hollow pocket in the base plate confines the nut. The bolt engages the fixed nut and nutrotating pedestal to secure the truck.
