Patent attributes
An accessory for a self-balancing board is provided. The self-balancing board comprises a foot-deck having two lateral foot-deck ends. Each lateral foot-deck end is coupled to a motor that drives a wheel in response to an orientation of the lateral foot-deck end relative to a horizontal plane. The accessory includes a chassis, at least one travel surface-contacting element coupled proximal to a first longitudinal end of the chassis to facilitate travel of the chassis over a travel surface, and a seat coupled to the chassis and configured to support a person. The accessory further includes a first foot-deck engagement element proximal to a second longitudinal end of the chassis distal to the first longitudinal end and constructed to engage the foot-deck of the self-balancing board proximal to the first lateral foot-deck end, and a second foot-deck engagement element proximal to the second longitudinal end of the chassis and constructed to engage the foot-deck of the self-balancing board proximal to the second lateral foot-deck end. At least one control member coupled to the first foot-deck engagement element and the second foot-deck engagement element controls the orientation of the lateral foot-deck ends relative to a horizontal plane via the first foot-deck engagement element and the second foot-deck engagement element.
