Abstract
An auxiliary wheel system for a scooter includes an auxiliary wheel, an arm, an drive assembly, and an operation module. The arm has a first end fixed to the auxiliary wheel, and a second end pivotally fixed to a frame of the scooter via a joint attached at the second end. The drive assembly is configured to pivot the arm about the joint between a raised position and a lowered position with respect to the frame wherein the auxiliary wheel is vertically offset from a ground surface and in the lowered position. The operation module is configured to cause the arm to pivot about the joint between the raised position and the lowered position based on a tilt of the frame with respect to the ground surface exceeding a threshold value.
