Marking device for a personal mobility vehicle

A marking device for a personal mobility vehicle, the personal mobility vehicle having a body and at least one wheel, the marking device comprising:

• an attachment portion configured to be supported by the personal mobility vehicle;
• a marking assembly that generates markings when in frictional contact with a riding surface, the marking assembly including an actuation member proximate the foot of a user;
• a first position in which the marking assembly does not contact the riding surface;
• a second position in which the marking assembly contacts the riding surface;
• a locking mechanism configured to hold the marking device in the second position;
• wherein the marking device can be moved from the first position to the second position by a user acting upon the actuation portion;
• wherein the marking device can be fixed in the first position and also can be fixed in the second position so that a user can stop acting upon the marking device and the marking device will remain fixed in either the first position or the second position.

A personal mobility vehicle, comprising:

• a body configured to support a user;
• at least one wheel supported by the body and rotatable around an axis;
• a marking mechanism supported by the body, the marking mechanism comprising:
• an attachment member configured to be supported by the body;
• an elastic member having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being supported by the attachment member;
• a marking material configured to generate markings when in frictional contact with a riding surface;
• wherein the second portion of the elastic member is configured to support the marking material and bias the marking material towards a position in which the marking material contacts the riding surface;
• wherein the second portion of the elastic member and the marking material can move relative to the attachment member and the first portion of the elastic member, and wherein the movement of the marking material is constrained only by the elastic member;
• wherein the elastic member is configured to bend in order to assist in maintaining contact between the marking material and the riding surface.
