HANDS-FREE LEG/MOTOR POWERED VEHICLE

摘要

This vehicle can be controlled and powered by bodyweight only to give maximum exercise and continuous good health for the user. A motor can be teamed with physical effort to help or take over altogether. It will be used by those with nonfunctional limbs, the disabled who cannot use arm powered wheelchairs, or ablebodied people who wish to keep their arms free for other purposes and yet still move over pedestrian areas on a vehicle. There are very useful rise and fall mechanisms which place the user in the appropriate posture for the task in hand. It can lower to 40cm and rise to 75cm. It will also fold down and stow away in a car boot, a cupboard, hang up. It has sporting potential for those unable to participate with the vehicles already available. Lightweight materials and lightweight non-spill acid batteries are used.
