Self-Stabilizing Mechanism for Skateboard Stability

Self-stabilizing electric skateboard with a tilting deck, motorized wheel, and sensors to receive board orientation information and keep the board balanced. The skateboard has a deck with footpads that are concave in the direction of travel to conform to the rider's feet.

A skateboard deck design that allows the front and rear wheels to stably contact a 3D road surface while ensuring usability and operability. The deck has multiple board materials, with a central wood board that is narrower in width than the outer wood boards. The narrower central wood board reduces torsional rigidity. Fiber-reinforced plastic boards are added above and below the wood core. The plastic boards extend fully but the wood boards narrow at the center. This reduces torsional rigidity at the center, allowing twist while maintaining overall deck width and stability. The plastic boards also fill the remaining gaps around the wood core.

Tire for a single wheel self-balancing vehicle that enables improved carving motions while maintaining control. The tire has three distinct lateral regions - a central region between two lateral regions. The lateral regions taper towards the respective sides of the tire. The tread grooves are non-directional and asymmetrical about the tire's central circumference line. The tire has a hardness selected to substantially prevent deformation of the lateral profiles during riding.

A tire for a single wheel self-balancing vehicle that allows smooth transitions and carving turns while preventing wobbling. The tire has a non-directional tread, symmetrical lateral profiles tapering towards each side, with no discontinuities. This allows the tire to roll smoothly when the rider leans to one side rather than centering itself. The tire hardness is selected to prevent excessive deformation.

Standing riding device like a skateboard with a unique wheel configuration and along with additional features like handles, a paddle and a steering handle. The board has wheels at each end offset laterally and diagonally instead of parallel. This allows a natural, stable stance with one foot forward like walking, providing stability and safety. The handles make carrying and tricks easier.

A self-balancing electric skateboard with a resilient suspension system to absorb shocks from uneven terrain. The skateboard has one wheel, sensors to detect board orientation, and a motor to propel it. The wheel is connected to the board through a linkage assembly and a shock absorber. The linkage allows the wheel to move vertically relative to the board. This isolates the board from bumps, providing a smoother ride while maintaining stability

Rider detection systems for self-balancing electric vehicles like skateboards. The systems detect rider presence and orientation on the vehicle using pressure sensors on the foot pads and orientation sensors. This allows the vehicle to know when a rider is on board and their weight distribution. The vehicle can then use this information to properly balance and move.

Tire for single-wheel self-balancing vehicles that allows smooth turning and carving motions. The tire has a lateral profile that tapers towards each side without discontinuities, along with an asymmetrical non-directional tread. This allows the tire to roll at an angle without abrupt transitions. The tire is also made with a hardness that prevents excessive deformation when riding.

Self-balancing electric personal vehicles that are easy to ride and do not require extensive rider training. The vehicle uses rider detection systems to determine when a rider is present and enable propulsion. It can detect the rider's presence using pressure sensors on the foot platforms or other rider detection sensors. The vehicle uses orientation sensors to detect the board tilt and lean, and a motor controller to process the data and control the motor for propulsion. The vehicle can balance itself even at low speeds and automatically stabilize when the rider dismounts.

Self-balancing electric vehicle that can detect rider presence on the vehicle to enable precise and intuitive control. The vehicle uses pressure sensors on the foot decks to detect the rider's feet. This enables the vehicle to know when the rider is on or off the vehicle for safety features like preventing unauthorized use. The pressure sensor output is also used along with orientation sensors to generate control signals for propulsion and balance. By detecting the rider's feet and adjusting propulsion based on orientation, the vehicle can provide a stable and responsive ride.

A self-balancing rideable device with independently driven wheels to stabilize rider posture. The device has a board, wheels, sensors, a steering board, and control unit. The board has independently driven wheels on each side, a center-of-gravity sensor, and a rotation sensor for the steering board. The control unit uses the sensors to independently control wheel speeds for straight travel and turning based on rider input from the rotating steering board without mechanically linking the steering to the wheels. This allows the board to turn without transmitting road bumps to the rider's feet.

This is a skateboard design that allows riders of all skill levels more stability, flexibility, and safety than any other human-powered or motorized rolling device. It achieves this through a unique riding stance with one foot forward and wheels placed diagonally and laterally. The skateboard also has an optional center handle for carrying and tricks, an optional paddle pole for propulsion, and an optional steering handle.

Self-stabilizing electric vehicle like a self-balancing skateboard that can detect rider presence on the vehicle. The vehicle has sensors like pressure transducers on the deck that detect foot pressure to determine if a rider is on board. The vehicle uses this rider detection information along with orientation sensors to control the motorized wheels and propel itself. This allows the vehicle to automatically adjust its balance and speed based on rider presence and orientation.
