A powered running board for attaching to a vehicle comprising a stepping platform and a pivoting assembly. The pivoting assembly comprises a rotating bar connected to a pivoting support arm, which is attached to the stepping platform. The powered running board can pivot between a down position (e.g., horizontal orientation) and an up position (e.g., vertical orientation), wherein the down position is for providing a step for entry into and out of the vehicle, and the up position is for obstructing the opening of the side doors so as to secure the vehicle. |
