Abstract:
An electric vehicle may include a board having two deck portions each configured to receive a foot of a rider, and a wheel assembly disposed between the deck portions. A motor assembly may drive the wheel assembly in response to board orientation and rider presence information. A rider detection mechanism may include one or more strain gauges, and may be configured to detect rider presence and rider weight information. A responsiveness of the motor may be automatically adjusted based on the rider weight information.

Claim (Index 1):
An electric vehicle comprising:\n a board including first and second deck portions each configured to receive a left or right foot of a rider; a wheel assembly including a ground-contacting element; a motor assembly mounted to the board and configured to rotate the ground-contacting element around an axle; at least one orientation sensor configured to measure orientation information of the board; a first strain gauge and a second strain gauge spaced apart across the longitudinal centerline of the board and configured to produce rider presence information and rider weight information; and a motor controller in communication with the motor assembly, the motor controller configured to receive the orientation information and the rider presence information, and to cause the motor assembly to propel the electric vehicle based on the board orientation information and the rider presence information; wherein the motor controller is configured to determine a weight category of the rider based on the rider weight information, and to respond automatically to the orientation information with a selected aggressiveness based on the rider weight category, such that a same board orientation results in a different acceleration response depending on the rider weight category.
