Timur Artemev. Field of Invention The present invention relates to hub motors designs, for example for powered single-wheeled devices and more particularly to powered unicycles with self- balancing functionality.
Background to the Invention
Powered self-balancing vehicles for use while standing are known. Such vehicles include two-wheeled vehicles and single-wheeled vehicles (i.e. unicycles). In a powered self-balancing unicycle, an electronic or mechanical system that controls the wheel in the appropriate direction is typically used to achieve fore-and-aft balance. This type of automatic fore-and-aft balance technology is well known and described, for example, in United States Patent number 6,302,230. A sensor and electronic equipment are typically provided. Information detected by the sensor and the electronics is relayed to a motor. The motor drives the wheel in the appropriate direction and at sufficient speed to maintain fore-and-aft balance.
