Collapsible cycle

摘要

A collapsible cycle (1) for use by a rider (11) over a terrain surface (36)comprises a frame (2) having front (3) and rear (4) portions and a seat (13) attached to the frame (2). A front wheel (5) is rotatably attached to a steering member (7), the front wheel (5) rotatable in a first plane about a primary axis (17), and the steering member (7) being pivotally attached to the front frame portion (3) for rotation about a secondary axis (18) orthogonal to the primary axis (17). A user-operable steering mechanism (8) is coupled to the steering member (7). A rear wheel (6) is rotatably attached to the rear frame portion (4) and rotatable in a third plane about a tertiary axis (19). A drive mechanism (38) is operatively coupled to the front (5) and/or rear (6) wheel. The cycle (1) is collapsible from an erect riding configuration to a collapsed configuration by repositioning the front and rear wheels (5, 6) into mutually closer proximity.
