Problems solved by technology

However, transporting the mobility device in a vehicle may result in packaging constraints within the vehicle, especially if the vehicle is relatively small
[0003] Also, in the case of motorizing the mobile device, the user may find it difficult to find a charging port to charge the battery of the mobile device
For example, where the final destination is within a building, such as in the case of a workplace office, the user may not be able to easily move the mobility device into the building for charging

Abstract

A multimodal transportation system and mobility device, the multimodal transportation system includes modules that can be alternately coupled to vehicles and mobility devices. The module includes a housing and a motor, a battery, and a controller each supported by the housing. The vehicle and the module each include electrical contacts engageable with each other. The mobility device includes a frame, and the housing and the frame each include locking elements releasably engageable with each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multimodal transport system and mobility that allows sharing of modules between mobile equipment, vehicles and / or any other combination of mobility and vehicles. When the user travels to a destination in the vehicle, the module can be stored in the vehicle. When arriving at the destination, the user can remove the module from the vehicle and attach the module to the mobility device. Background technique [0002] A multimodal transportation system may include a vehicle used during one part of a trip and a mobility device used during another part of the trip. For example, a user may transport the mobility device in the vehicle such that after completing a portion of the trip in the vehicle, the mobility device may be removed from the vehicle and the mobile Sex devices are used for another part of the trip. However, transporting the mobility device in a vehicle may result in packaging constraints within the vehicle, e...
