Zusammenfassung:	A power supply assembly is provided for a Personalized Motorized Vehicle (PMV) including a detachable mounting assembly therefor which facilitates the ease of attachment of a Power Supply Unit (PSU) to a main structural frame of the PMV, provides a positive electrical and structural connection therebetween, and integrates the power supply assembly with the external geometry of the PMV to provide an aesthetically pleasing external appearance. The power supply assembly includes a pair of PSUs, each unit having a housing structure which includes at least one segment projecting from a center body portion thereof. A segment of one PSU unit overlaps a segment of another PSU unit and another segment of one PSU overlaps a portion of the main structural frame. Electrical connectors are disposed in combination with the overlapping housing segments for electrically coupling the PSUs and at least one PSU to the PMV. The power supply, assembly, furthermore includes a retention subassembly for structurally connecting each PSU to the main structural frame. More specifically, the retention subassembly comprises a base support for accepting a power supply unit and having retention walls for in-plane retention of the power supply unit, an aperture disposed in the housing structure and a latching mechanism engaging the aperture for vertically retaining the power supply unit.
