Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mobility scooter, and more particularly to a simulation board for testing the interface circuits of various functions of a mobility scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Personal mobility vehicles (PMOs) generally refer to transportation or auxiliary tools designed for commuting. They are typically small cars, electric bicycles, or electric mobility scooters used to replace walking, meeting the needs of people with mobility impairments for longer distances or improving efficiency in errands. To function as a personal mobility vehicle, a controller is needed to manage the various circuit interfaces. This controller controls the vehicle's functions. To improve the stability and effectiveness of the controller's operation, functional testing of its interface controls is usually required. While existing PMOs have relatively complete controller testing equipment or instruments, or can be tested using the entire vehicle, the testing costs are high, and these tests are primarily real-time functional tests, making it difficult to perform post-functionality lifespan monitoring of the controller.
