Title:
PERSONAL TRANSPORTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/094069
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a personal mobility device which can be turned by moving the center of gravity of an occupant without using special components and without individually controlling motors that drive left and right wheels. The personal mobility device is equipped with: left and right driving wheels (21) serving as front wheels; left and right casters (22) serving as rear wheels; and two motors (31) that drive the left and right driving wheels (21) individually. The left and right casters (22) each have a camber angle at which the top thereof is inclined inward when seen from the front, thereby making the two motors (31) identical in torque or applied voltage, and causing the casters (22) to rotate in the moving direction of the center of gravity and serve to steer when the center of gravity of the occupant moves in the left and right directions. Thus, it is possible to turn the personal transporter in the moving direction of the center of gravity.
