The disclosed apparatus may include a mount component that is mountable to a structural component of a personal mobility vehicle and a dock interface component that is adapted to securely interface with a dock via an interaction between the dock interface component and the dock. The mount component is mountable to any of at least one type of bicycle at a first position and at least one type of scooter at a second position. A docking point of the dock is configured to be interfaceable with any of the at least one type of bike at the first position and the at least one type of scooter at the second position. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for charging personal mobility vehicles via docks

In one embodiment, an apparatus for docking vehicles includes a housing structure comprising two side portions and a top portion connecting the two side portions, the two side portions and the top portion forming a cavity for receiving a portion of a vehicle, an electrically-powered locking assembly, carried by the housing structure, for securing the housing structure to the vehicle in response to the portion of the vehicle being received by the cavity of the housing structure, an electrically-powered communication device, coupled to the housing structure, for enabling data communication over a network, and a solar panel, carried by an external surface of one of the side portions of the housing structure, for independently converting light received by the solar panel into electrical energy.

Vehicle docking structure with a solar panel

A docking station for micromobility transit vehicles is provided. The docking station may include a rack configured to dock a micromobility transit vehicle, a bollard for securing the micromobility transit vehicle within the rack, and a dock module configured to detect a characteristic of a lock cable securing the micromobility transit vehicle to the bollard. The dock module may include an inductive coil assembly disposed around a hole of the bollard to detect the lock cable inserted into the hole.

Docking station for micromobility transit vehicles

The disclosed apparatus may include a collar for charging a personal mobility vehicle via a dock. In some embodiments, the collar may be fitted with a charging connector that interfaces with a dock that charges the personal mobility vehicle when the personal mobility vehicle is docked. In one embodiment, the collar and a corresponding receiving element in the dock may be shaped such that the collar fits securely in the receiving element without requiring mechanical action by the collar or receiving element and only requiring a user to push the personal mobility vehicle straight into the dock. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
