An electric vehicle having a steering assembly, a front wheel assembly, and an electric drive assembly. The steering assembly inckudes a rotabably mounted steering shaft (41') and a steering handle (42') mounted at an upper end of the steering shaft. The front wheel assembly includes a base member (43') attached to a lower end of the steering shaft, a pair of front wheels (44'), and a transmission operatively associated with the front wheels and configurated for propelling the vehicle by driving the pair of front wheels (44') when the steering shaft is rotated in an oscillating manner. The electric drive assembly includes a driving disc (311') connected to an output shaft of an electric motor (32'), a driven disc (312) coaxially mounted on the steering shaft (41'), and a driving arm (313') having a first end rotatably connected to the driving disc (311') and a second end rotatably connected to the driven disc (312') for converting rotary movement of the drivingr (314') selectively connects the driving arm (313') to the driven disc (312'). The vehicle is adapted to be manually propelled when the driving arm (313') is disconnected from the driven disc (312') and the steering handle (42') is rotated in an oscillating manner by a user. The vehicle is adapted to be propelled by the electric motor (32') when the driving arm (313') is connected to the driven disc (312'). |
