The present invention is a personal mobility device having multiple modes of operation, including a deck, and a first and second wheel assembly, and at least one battery powered electric motor, and actuation means. The deck includes an elongate substantially flat body, and each wheel assembly is attached to the deck in the vicinity of a respective end of the elongate body. The respective axle of each wheel assembly is located upon the plane of the deck. The at least one battery powered electric motor is adapted to be actuated via the actuation means when a user steps onto the deck, and adapted to drive the first and second wheel assemblies, and wherein in the first mode of operation, both the first and second wheel assemblies are adapted to roll in a circumferential direction, predominately under the influence of the at least one electric motor, so that the device moves in an orthogonal direction to the longitudinal axis of the deck, and wherein in a second mode of operation, both the first and second wheel assemblies are also adapted to optionally free-roll in an orthogonal direction to the plane of the wheel assembly, thereby allowing the device to move substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the deck. There is a transitional mode of operation, where the device is capable of continuously and smoothly transitioning between the first and second mode of operation, while the device is being ridden.
