Technologies for transportation

This invention describes a personal transport device, similar to a skateboard, that uses both traditional wheels and special omnidirectional rollers. The rollers are positioned between the main wheels, can move in any direction, and are designed to spring back into a straight line. At least one of these rollers is motorized to propel the device, which also includes an adjustable foot hook for the rider.

Why it matters: Since 2016, advancements in compact electric motors and battery technology make a motorized personal transport device more practical. Cheaper, more powerful microcontrollers can now better manage the complex omnidirectional movement and elastic biasing.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedOmnidirectional motorized rollers, elastic biasing, control system.
