Abstract:
A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle may include a suspension system configured to provide arcuate, generally vertical motion of a board relative to an axle of a central wheel assembly when the vehicle encounters obstacles and bumps on a riding surface. Illustrative suspension systems may include a shock absorber and a swingarm that couple the wheel assembly to the board.

Claim (Index 15):
A self-balancing electric vehicle, comprising:\n a board defining a riding plane and configured to receive left and right feet of a rider; a rotatable wheel extending above and below the board; a motor configured to rotate the wheel around an axis of rotation to propel the vehicle; at least one sensor configured to measure orientation information of the board; a motor controller configured to receive orientation information measured by the sensor and to cause the motor to propel the vehicle based on the orientation information; and a linkage assembly linking the wheel to the board, the linkage assembly including:\n first and second extension arms, each rotatably attached to a respective lateral side of the wheel; \n a connecting member rigidly interconnecting the extension arms; \n a shock absorber having a first end coupled to the connecting member; and \n a first coupling member joining a second end of the shock absorber to the board; \n wherein the linkage assembly is configured to allow the riding plane of the board to move in an arcuate, generally vertical direction relative to the axis of rotation of the wheel, in response to bumps encountered by the wheel.
