Benefits of technology

The universal frame and modular battery system allow for the creation of multiple electric vehicle types, reducing waste and the cost of battery replacement, while enabling flexible use of batteries across different vehicles and providing convenient wireless charging options.

Problems solved by technology

The battery is specifically designed for powering only the particular electric vehicle to which it is associated, and cannot be used for any other purpose.
Moreover, once the battery no longer maintains a charge, the vehicle may be useless, or may require a costly new battery exchange and installation by the manufacturer.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Referring to the figures, and in particular FIGS. 1 and 2, there is a shown a universal electric vehicle frame 2 for that can be used as an integral frame member extending between and connecting various types of sets of two wheel assemblies to form various types of electric vehicles.

[0016]The frame 2 includes an encasement 4, which includes a first major (upper) face 12, a second major (lower) face 14, a first (right) side face 16, a second (left) side face 18, and first end (front) face 20, and a second end (rear) face 22. The terms “upper,”“lower,”“right,”“left,”“front,” and “rear,” are only used for convenience, and to distinguish between the different faces of the frame 2 in relation to the depictions of the frame 2 in the figures. It will be appreciated, that the frame 2 and the faces 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22 can assume different orientations than those depicted.

[0017]As depicted, the encasement 4 is a general cuboid shape with each face 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22 of th...

Abstract

A universal electric vehicle frame configured to be exchangeably coupled to a plurality of different types of sets of wheel assemblies to selectively form a plurality of different types of electric vehicles including an electric scooter, an electric skateboard, and an electric bicycle. The universal electric vehicle frame includes an encasement for housing one or more batteries to power the electric vehicles. At least one of the wheel assemblies includes an electric motor powered by the batteries, and configured to turn a wheel of the wheel assemblies.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Personal transportation vehicles are known to allow users to transport themselves from one location to another by using power from a battery, combustion engine, or under the user's own power. Battery powered personal transportation vehicles (“electric vehicles”) are known to include one or more wheels, a platform for a user to stand or sit on, an electric motor for rotating the one or more wheels, and a battery to provide power to the electric motor. The battery is often rechargeable, and is typically inaccessible to a user by being sealed by the manufacturer inside a compartment mounted on a frame of the vehicle. When depleted of power, the battery can be recharged by connecting the battery to a power source, typically by inserting an electric plug in an electric port on the vehicle.[0002]The battery is specifically designed for powering only the particular electric vehicle to which it is associated, and cannot be used for any other purpose. Moreover, once the batte...
