Abstract:
An electric skateboard with a hands free control mechanism includes weight sensors embedded in the front and rear truck base plates to measure both the total weight of the rider as well as their weight distribution on the deck. An advanced skate control circuit uses these weight signals from the base plate to control the motor power, and includes the ability to detect when the rider is kicking the board. During these kicking events, the skate control algorithm changes to a mode which minimises any rapid changes to the skateboard velocity so that the rider will remain stable with just one foot on the deck.

Claim (Index 10):
A truck kit for an electric skateboard, comprising:\n (a) a front truck comprising:\n a front base plate mountable to a front underside of an electric skateboard deck and comprising a front weight sensor positioned to directly or indirectly measure a force exerted on the front base plate by the skateboard deck; and \n a front hanger pivotably coupled to the front base plate, and comprising a front axle for coupling to a front pair of wheels; and \n (b) a rear truck comprising:\n a rear base plate mountable to a rear underside of the electric skateboard deck and comprising a rear weight sensor positioned to directly or indirectly measure a force exerted on the rear base plate by the skateboard deck; and \n a rear hanger pivotably coupled to the rear base plate, and comprising a rear axle for coupling to a rear pair of wheels; \n wherein at least one of the front and rear pair of wheels is rotatably drivable by at least one motor, and the at least one motor is controlled by at least one controller that is communicable with the front and rear weight sensors.
