Patent attributes
A nose-dive prevention device for a one-wheeled motorized transportation device is disclosed, which has wheels that strike the ground in the event of a nose-dive situation, instead of the bumper, which could otherwise become abruptly hung and thus throw the rider. The nose-dive prevention device has a base for attachment to the front of the one-wheeled motorized transportation device, and one or more wheels connected to and extending from the base. The wheels are positioned to interpose between the front end of the one-wheeled motorized transportation device and the ground and contact the ground when the front end exceeds a nose-dive angle. However, under normal riding conditions, the wheels are spaced above the ground at a height sufficient to allow normal angular variability of the riding platform needed for control of the one-wheeled motorized device.
