Abstract

A user controlled power assisted device to automate snowboard and wideboard recreational snow devices to make turning easier and more consistent for the user, while viewing the line of travel straight ahead instead of the conventional sideways view.The user simply presses one foot or the other down to enable the proper edging to effect the desired turn. The user's foot pressing rotates the control shaft, which electronically communicates via the pot, motor controller, battery, and motor. The motor then proportionally rotates the drive shaft accordingly to rotate the device longitudinally which provides proper edging to effect the desired turn. The motor rotates around the control shaft to reduce torque backpressure on the board.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What I claim is: 
     
         1 . A wideboard turning apparatus comprising a user foot powered lever transversely mounted to a control shaft, power assisted.
 a. a lever that enables the user to stand on and control the direction of turns by pressing one foot or another down.   b. enables lateral stability of the user   
     
     
         2 . A drive shaft, the rotational direction dictated by the user pressing one foot or another down on the control shaft and controlled with a power assist, potentiometer, motor controller, battery, and motor.
 a. When rotated turns the board longitudinally for proportional edging to effect turns.   
     
     
         3 . A motor mount that rotates around the control shaft thus negating some effects of reverse torque on the board. 
     
     
         4 . An ultra light weight board comprised of carbon fiber and a core for composite structure. 
     
     
         5 . A skidder that has upward sloping edges and maintains the lever remaining above the ambient ground surface and is attached to the lever or is an integral part of the lever.
