Product Definition & Photos

1. Hoverboards

A hoverboard or an electronic scooter is a self-propelled two-wheel electric device powered by an onboard battery pack with two wheels and a board between the wheels for the rider to stand and balance on. The user shifts his/her weight to move the device in the desired direction. There are no handlebars on self-propelled two-wheeled devices.

2. Monorovers / Electric Unicycles

A monorover or an electric unicycle is a self-propelled electric device powered by an onboard battery pack with one or two centrally-located wheels with small platforms on either side for the rider to stand on during operation. The user shifts his/her weight to move the device in the desired direction. There are no handlebars on self-propelled electric unicycles.

3. Electric Skateboard.

An electric skateboard has multiple wheels and has an added battery pack and power system to aid riders with added torque while traveling. An electric skateboard may have a handheld remote control to allow the rider to control the device during use.

4. Electric Scooter / Electric Kickboard

An electrical scooter may take a number of different forms: Electric kickboards, foldable scooters, and rideable scooters.

5. Self-Balancing Transport

A self-balancing transport device may have one or two wheels. These devices are powered by a rechargeable battery pack and use the shifting weight of the rider to balance the device.

6. Electric Assisted Bicycle (Assist Cycle)

An electric assisted bicycle (Assist cycle) are a two-wheeled device used for personal transportation. Resembling an analog bicycle, an electric assisted bicycle has an added battery and power system to aid the rider with added torque when traversing elevated or rough terrain.

7. Electric Assisted Tricycle (Assist Tricycle)
