Personal electric vehicle mount

A transportation system for an amusement park, comprising:

• a transportation vehicle comprising a floor having a stationary rail and configured to carry passengers between locations associated with the amusement park;
• and
• a mounting device configured to retain a personal electric vehicle (PEV) on the floor of the transportation vehicle, wherein the mounting device comprises:
• a base assembly of the mounting device securing the mounting device to the floor of the transportation vehicle via the stationary rail;
• an arm of the mounting device including a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion of the arm is pivotally coupled to the base assembly via a hinge assembly, and the second portion of the arm is coupled to a retaining assembly of the mounting device configured to retain the PEV, and wherein the first portion and the second portion are coupled to one another at a joint.

A method for retaining a personal electric vehicle (PEV) using a mounting device, comprising:

• rotating an arm of the mounting device in a first rotational direction to transform the mounting device from a stowed position to a deployed position in which the mounting device is configured to retain the PEV, wherein the arm of the mounting device comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is pivotally coupled to a base assembly of the mounting device via a hinge assembly enabling rotation, and the second portion is coupled to a retaining assembly of the mounting device configured to retain the PEV;
• positioning the PEV adjacent to the mounting device such that an elongated body of the PEV is adjacent the mounting device;
• and
• retaining the PEV via one or more fastener straps of the retaining assembly configured to loop around a portion of the elongated body of the PEV, wherein the elongated body of the PEV extends in a longitudinal direction from between a pair of wheels and to a handle of the PEV.
