SELF-BALANCING ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD
A self-balancing electric skateboard consists of an elongate platform (1) with two support regions (2) for accommodating a user's feet. In the centre portion of the platform between the support regions two electric motor/wheels (3) are coaxially arranged, each of which is mounted on an independent suspension (4) with a spring (5) of an electromagnetic shock absorber (6), wherein the axles of the wheels are oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the platform. The electric skateboard also comprises at least one electric motor/wheel controller (7), one electromagnetic shock absorber controller (8), and two modules for sensing the orientation of the platform, namely an orientation sensing module (9) capable of determining the tilt of the platform relative to an axle of an electric motor/wheel, and an orientation sensing module (10) capable of determining the tilt of the platform relative to its longitudinal axis.
