A powered skateboard having a powered wheel. The performance of the powered wheel can be modified based on one or more signals from one or more sensors on the powered vehicle and/or on a user of the powered vehicle.
An electrically powered vehicle having software to facilitate variable control of a motorized wheel. The software can modify the manner in which electricity is provided to phases of a motor of the motorized wheel. In some aspects, the modification of electricity provided to the phases can adjust a speed and/or a torque of the motor of the motorized wheel.
H02P 7/293 - Arrangements for regulating or controlling the speed or torque of electric DC motors for regulating or controlling an individual DC dynamo-electric motor by varying field or armature current by master control with auxiliary power using discharge tubes or semiconductor devices using semiconductor devices controlling armature supply only using static converters, e.g. AC to DC using phase control
H02P 7/06 - Arrangements for regulating or controlling the speed or torque of electric DC motors for regulating or controlling an individual DC dynamo-electric motor by varying field or armature current
An electrically powered vehicle is disclosed, having a resistor to facilitate dynamic breaking when the electrically powered vehicle is moving downhill or under other external motive force. The electrically powered vehicle includes one or more electrical motors configured to provide motive force to a powered wheel of the electrically powered vehicle. The one or more electrical motors can be configured to generate electricity when the electrically powered vehicle is moved by a force external to the electrically powered vehicle.
B60L 7/22 - Dynamic electric resistor braking, combined with dynamic electric regenerative braking
B60L 11/18 - using power supplied from primary cells, secondary cells, or fuel cells
B60L 15/00 - Methods, circuits or devices for controlling the propulsion of electrically-propelled vehicles, e.g. their traction-motor speed, to achieve a desired performanceAdaptation of control equipment on electrically-propelled vehicles for remote actuation from a stationary place, from alternative parts of the vehicle or from alternative vehicles of the same vehicle train
A powered skateboard having a powered wheel. The powered wheel formed of a motor within tire of the wheel. The powered wheel fixed to a truck of the powered skateboard. The powered skateboard including at least one onboard battery to provide electrical power to the powered wheel.
A powered skateboard having a skateboard deck formed from a blank core. The skateboard deck has a top surface for supporting a rider of the powered skateboard and a bottom surface configured to facilitate engagement with one or more skateboard trucks. The skateboard deck can include a well in the top surface of the skateboard deck. The well can be adapted to store one of more components of the powered skateboard.
A system for controlling the operation of a motorized wheel including a controller configured to control the operation of a motor for driving the motorized wheel, and a handheld device configured to receive inputs associated with the operation of the motor and to transmit instructions corresponding to the received inputs to the controller to control the operation of the motor via a wireless communication medium. The handheld device includes a main portion having a handgrip and a tail portion being biased toward the main portion to form an attachment mechanism by the main portion in cooperation with the tail portion, the attachment mechanism for attaching to a remote surface. The handheld device including a display for displaying information associated with the operation of the motorized wheel.
