An electric wheeled apparatus comprises a main body, at least one wheel supported by the main body in a rotatable manner; an electric motor configured to apply torque to the at least one wheel, a battery interface configured to removably receive at least one battery pack which is originally designed as a power source of an electric power tool, and an electric circuit unit configured to electrically connect the at least one battery pack attached to the battery interface with the electric motor.

An illuminated vehicle wheel assembly having arrays of illuminated electrical elements such as light emitting diodes, which are powered by the vehicle power systems by way of a slip ring assembly associated with the bearing or bearing seal of the vehicle wheel.

The invention discloses an electric balance swingcar. The swingcar comprises a top cover, an inner cover, a bottom cover, hub motors, a rotating mechanism and a balance controlling mechanism, wherein each of the top cover, inner cover and the bottom cover comprises two parts which are symmetrically arranged and can rotate mutually; the inner cover is arranged between the top cover and the bottom cover and is cooperated with the top cover and the bottom cover together; the rotating mechanism is fixed at the middle transverse position of the inner cover; the hub motors which are vertically arranged are fixed at the border positions of the left side and the right side of the inner cover; the balance controlling mechanism is fixed on the bottom cover and is connected with the motors; the rotating mechanism comprises two bearings, an axle sleeve and two circlips, wherein the two bearings are respectively fixed at the inner ends of the two same parts of the inner cover, and the axle sleeve is fixed in the two bearings and is fixed on the inner cover through the circlips. The swingcar disclosed by the invention can solve the technical problem that a user controls the running state of the balance swingcar only by using feet.

A two-wheel, self-balancing personal vehicle having independently movable foot placement sections. The foot placement sections have an associated wheel, sensor and motor and are independently self-balancing which gives the user independent control over the movement of each platform section by the magnitude and direction of tilt a user induces in a given platform section. Various embodiments are disclosed including those with a continuous housing, discrete platform sections and / or tapering platform sections.

A roadgraph may include a graph network of information such as roads, lanes, intersections, and the connections between these features. The roadgraph may also include one or more zones associated with particular rules. The zones may include locations where driving is typically challenging such as merges, construction zones, or other obstacles. In one example, the rules may require an autonomous vehicle to alert a driver that the vehicle is approaching a zone. The vehicle may thus require a driver to take control of steering, acceleration, deceleration, etc. In another example, the zones may be designated by a driver and may be broadcast to other nearby vehicles, for example using a radio link or other network such that other vehicles may be able to observer the same rule at the same location or at least notify the other vehicle's drivers that another driver felt the location was unsafe for autonomous driving.
