Design based on a Segway using Fusion360, an extruded aluminum frame, and a tractor seat.
Features include an adjustable center of gravity, shock absorption, and parking brake.
V2.0
V2.0 Tractor seat attached to aluminum base frame provides shock absorption, adjustable center of gravity and core support to the rider. Steering mechanism aluminum side mounted to the original column for easy transferring on and off of the seat. Safety foot switches engaged by hinged footrest. Improved kickstand design in progress.
V1.2
Functioned well, but materials wore quickly and required consistent upkeep. Center steering column made transferring to and from the machine difficult and also caused steering to be limited by users legs.
Able to switch between off-road mode (useful on uneven and low traction terrain; width 33 in) and street mode (useful for covering long distances and indoor use; width 25.5 in).
V1.2 Tractor seat attached to wooden base frame provides shock absorption, adjustable center of gravity and more core support to the rider. Steering mechanism centrally located wooden 2x4 attached to the steering column. Safety foot switches engaged by hinged footrest. Trigger clamps act as a kickstand so user can independently load and unload.
V0.2
No core support on the machine required excellent core and leg strength from the user. Cargo supports cannot be used with narrower I2 tires meaning it could not easily be converted to a street version that fit through standard doors.
Board screwed into the cargo supports. Steering on left and right. steering made by singular piece of steel conduit with pipe clamps attaching it to a wooden 2x6 connected to the steering column. Safety foot switches engaged by hinged footrest.
