Systems, devices, and methods for sharing personal mobility devices

A method comprising:

• receiving a respective personal mobility device at a mobility device repository of a locker and securing the received personal mobility device at the mobility device repository, wherein receiving the respective personal mobility device at the mobility device repository comprises:
• instructing the respective personal mobility device to autonomously drive to the locker;
• and
• receiving, at the mobility device repository, the respective personal mobility device autonomously driven to the locker;
• receiving a checked-in indication that the respective personal mobility device is checked in, the locker including a kiosk having a user interface and further including a communication interface communicatively connected to a network, wherein the checked-in indication is received via the user interface or via the communication interface over the network and the checked-in indication comprises an indication that the respective personal mobility device is checked in at a first location other than the locker;
• and
• charging a respective battery of the received personal mobility device using an electrical system of the locker.

A locker comprising a mobility device repository, a lift, an electrical system, a kiosk having a user interface, a communication interface communicatively connected to a network, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein:

• the mobility device repository comprises an enclosure configured to secure one or more personal mobility devices at the mobility device repository within the enclosure, the enclosure comprising a receiving opening positioned on a first surface of the enclosure,
• the lift is configured to receive the respective personal mobility device at a ground surface, the lift movable along the first surface of the enclosure between the ground surface and the receiving opening,
• the electrical system is configured to receive electrical power from a power source and to charge respective batteries of the personal mobility devices secured at the mobility device repository using the received electrical power, and
• the non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the locker to:
• receive a checked-in indication that a respective personal mobility device is checked in at a first location other than the locker, wherein the checked-in indication is received via the user interface or via the communication interface over the network;
• in response to receiving the checked-in indication, instruct the respective personal mobility device to autonomously drive to the locker;
• receive, at the lift, the respective personal mobility device autonomously driven to the locker, and elevate the respective personal mobility device received at the lift from the ground surface to the receiving opening;
• transfer the elevated personal mobility devices from the lift into the enclosure, and secure the received personal mobility device at the mobility device repository within the enclosure;
• charge a respective battery of the received personal mobility device using the electrical system.
