A compact personal transport device convertible between a riding configuration and a stowed configuration is described. In one embodiment, a latching mechanism for the compact personal transport device includes a frame post attached internally to the personal transport device and a seat post including an opening on one side. The seat post fits onto the frame post. The latching mechanism also includes a latch spring that extends outwards from one side of the frame post in an extended position and retracts inside the frame post in a retracted position. The latch spring extends through the opening in the seat post when the seat post is attached to the frame post and the latch spring is in the extended position to mechanically lock the seat post to the frame post.

A personal transport device convertible between a riding configuration and a stowed configuration is described. In one embodiment, a rear wheel locking mechanism for the personal transport device includes a bracket having a recess on an underside of the bracket. The recess is configured to mate with a protruding knuckle on a rear wheel arm of the personal transport device. A securing tab is attached to a back end of the bracket at a pivot mechanism. The securing tab includes a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end. The pivot mechanism causing the top end and the bottom end of the release tab to move in opposite directions. The bottom end of the securing tab is configured to engage with a knob on a rear wheel arm of the personal transport device to secure the rear wheel arm in place to prevent linear movement.

A compact personal transport device convertible between a riding configuration and a stowed configuration is described. In one embodiment, a steering assembly for the compact personal transport device includes a telescopic steering shaft, a neck disposed at a top of the telescopic steering shaft, and a rotatable collar connected via a rotation mechanism to the neck. A handlebar is secured to the rotatable collar and the steering assembly also includes a handlebar latching mechanism. In a locked configuration, the handlebar latching mechanism secures the rotatable collar from being rotated. In an unlocked configuration, the handlebar latching mechanism permits the rotatable collar to rotate relative to the neck.

A personal transport device convertible between a riding configuration and a stowed configuration is described. In one embodiment, a rear wheel and foot peg linking mechanism for the personal transport device includes foot pegs, including a first peg and a second peg, and a gear mechanism connected to the foot pegs. The gear mechanism is configured to rotate to move the foot pegs between an open position and a closed position. The rear wheel and foot peg linking mechanism also includes an arm connected to a rear wheel of the personal transport device and a post member extending outwards from the arm. The post member is configured to contact the gear mechanism to cause the gear mechanism to move the foot pegs from the open position to the closed position.

An electric transport device included an outer casing including a top, a bottom, a front, a back, and an interior space. A rear wheel assembly is mounted to the outer casing. The rear wheel assembly extends rearward of the back of the outer casing when the electric transport device is in a riding configuration. A locking mechanism is configurable in a first configuration to engage the rear wheel assembly to lock the rear wheel assembly in a riding position. The locking mechanism is configurable in a second configuration to disengage the locking mechanism from the rear wheel assembly permitting the rear wheel assembly to be moved relative to the outer casing to move the rear wheel assembly from the riding position to a stowed position.
