Abstract
A powered wheeled riding device is configured to receive left and right foot inputs from a user and in response control a left motor and a right motor to move respective left and right wheels forwardly and backwardly consistent with the left and right foot inputs in order to steer the device without changing a direction of the wheels relative to a frame of the riding device. The riding device has at least one rear wheel that is not powered. The rear wheel is mounted on a wheel mount that rotates freely about a vertical axis so that the rear wheel freely is directed in any direction.
Claims31
A powered wheeled riding device, comprising:
- a first chassis part supporting a first footpad and a first wheel, the first wheel configured to rotate about a chassis axis, the first chassis part terminating along the chassis axis at a first chassis part inner end disposed on a side of the first footpad opposite the first wheel;
- a second chassis part supporting a second footpad and a second wheel, the second wheel being configured to rotate about the chassis axis, the second chassis part terminating along the chassis axis at a second chassis part inner end disposed on a side of the second footpad opposite the second wheel;
- and
- an insert;
- a riding toy portion comprising an elongated frame structure supporting a saddle configured to support a rider thereupon, a mount post depending from the frame structure and attached to the insert, a back leg depending from the frame structure and having a wheel structure attached thereto and spaced from the frame structure;
- wherein the first chassis part, second chassis part and insert are coupled together with the insert sandwiched between the first chassis part inner end and the second chassis part inner end;
- and
- wherein the first chassis part, second chassis part and insert are each rotatable relative to one another about the chassis axis.
A powered wheeled riding device, comprising:
- a first chassis part defining a first footpad and supporting a first wheel and a first drive motor, the first chassis part configured to rotate about a chassis axis and terminating along the chassis axis at a first chassis part inner end disposed on a side of the first footpad opposite the first wheel;
- a second chassis part defining a second footpad and supporting a second wheel and a second drive motor, the second chassis part configured to rotate about the chassis axis and terminating along the chassis axis at a second chassis part inner end disposed on a side of the second footpad opposite the second wheel;
- and
- an insert sandwiched between the first chassis part inner end and the second chassis part inner end;
- wherein the first chassis part, second chassis part and insert are supported on an axle and configured to be rotatable relative to one another, the insert having a bottom aperture and being attached to the axle so as to move with the axle, an axle aperture of the axle aligned with the bottom aperture so as to provide access to an interior of the axle through the insert.
