Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new and useful personal transport vehicle that is smaller and more mobile than existing solutions. The vehicle has a support surface and a drive train that includes a truck, motor, and energy storage device. It also has a control input for the user to control its operation. The vehicle can transport a user and can support the user in various positions. The technical effect of this invention is to create a high-performance, mobile personal transport vehicle that is convenient, flexible, and can be easily controlled by the user.

Problems solved by technology

However, many of the existing solutions to personal transportation are large and bulky.
The size of these solutions limits the mobility of a user, as the user cannot easily take the vehicle onto another mode of transportation, such as a train.
Smaller conventional personal transport solutions, such as skateboards and bicycles, lack the range and speed bestowed by a motorized vehicle.
Existing small personal transport solutions, such as electric skateboards, suffer from a lack of performance due to the stiffness of the drive train components and / or drastically limit the flexibility of use due to obstacles on the riding surface formed by drive train components.
