Toy skateboard

A toy skateboard comprising:

• a deck having a pair of ends distal to each other, defined as a first end and a second end, and further having an upper surface, and a lower surface;
• a non-motorized truck assembly secured to the lower surface towards one end and having a pair of freely rotatably wheels connected to at least one first end axle extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the deck;
• a motorized truck assembly secured to the lower surface towards the other end, and the motorized truck assembly having a housing configured to include a battery, a processor, and a pair of motors to separately drive a pair of motor-controlled wheels connected to at least one second end axle extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the deck and positioned distally away from the pair of freely rotatably wheels, and the housing further including a receiver in communication with the processor and configured to receive signals to control the movement of the pair of motor-controlled wheels;
• and
• a center of gravity defined by the toy skateboard and positioned below the lower surface of the deck, and
• wherein the pair of motors, includes a first motor coupled to a first motor-controlled wheel, of the pair of motor-controlled wheels, and the processor is configured to detect a back electromotive force (“EMF”) voltage generated by the rotation of the first motor caused by a manual manipulation of the first motor-controlled wheel both in a direction equal to a rotational direction of the motor-controlled wheel and in a direction opposite to the rotational direction of the motor-controlled wheel, and the processor is further configured to include at least a sleep state and a wake state and is configured to transition between said sleep state and said wake state when the detected back EMF voltage reaches a pre-determined value.

A toy skateboard comprising:

• a deck having a first end, second end, an upper surface, and a lower surface;
• a first non-motorized truck assembly secured to the lower surface towards the first end and having a pair of freely rotatable wheels separately connected to at least one first end axle extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the deck;
• a motorized truck assembly secured to the lower surface towards the second end and distally away from the first non-motorized truck assembly, and the motorized truck assembly having a housing defined to include a top profile substantially conforming to a portion of the lower surface towards said second end and the housing configured to include at least a battery, a processor, and a pair of motors to separately control a pair of motor-controlled wheels connected to at least one second end axle extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the deck, and the pair of motor-controlled wheels being positioned distally away from the pair of freely rotatable wheels, the housing further including a receiver configured to receive signals to control the movement of the pair of motor-controlled wheels;
• and
• wherein the processor is configured to detect a back electromotive force voltage generated by the rotation of one or more of the pair of motors due to a manual manipulation by a user on one or more of the motor-controlled wheels both in a direction equal to a rotational direction of the motor-controlled wheel and in a direction opposite to the rotational direction of the motor-controlled wheel, and the processor being further configured to include at least a sleep state and a wake state, and wherein the processor includes a function to transition between the sleep state and the wake state, when the detected back electromotive force voltage reaches a pre-determined value.
