HUMAN POWERED LAND VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle (1) has two steered front wheels (3, 3.1) and one rear wheel (2) driven by a drive train. The drive train incorporates a human powered actuator (13) for the propulsion of the vehicle (1) by a person driving the vehicle (1) and coupled to a driven wheel (2). The vehicle (1) further disposes of a non-human powered actuator (16) arranged to drive at least one of the wheels of the vehicle (1). The vehicle (1) has a longitudinal beam (9) and a cross-beam (10), the rear wheel (2) being connected to the longitudinal beam (9) and the front wheels (3, 3.1) being supported by the cross-beam (10). The longitudinal beam (9) has a U-shaped form in cross-section with a longitudinal opening (30) facing groundwards. The drive train is housed (13) within the longitudinal beam (9). The axis of the pedal drive (13) is arranged with distance to the top (27) of the longitudinal beam (9).
