摘要

A personal mobility vehicle having a very low center of gravity and compact overall size which facilitates travel in narrow hallways and in negotiating sharp turns both indoors and out of doors on smooth and uneven surfaces. The vehicle includes a generally horizontally disposed frame supported in close proximity above the ground by a steerable, motor-driven rear wheel and two spaced front wheels. A battery arrangement is connected to and supported by the frame and operably connected between a control lever in electrical communication with an electronic circuit and the motors for propelling and steering the rear wheel. A seat is provided whereby a user's feet may be comfortably supported on the frame. An arcuate cushioning ring connected and extending radially from the perimeter of the frame fixed objects such as walls, doorways and the like to facilitate tight maneuvers. Outrigger type anti-scuff and anti-tip wheels are also provided and may be in combination with a forwardly positioned ramp assist wheel connected beneath a forwardly perimeter of the frame to assist the vehicle in travelling over a ramp or bump.
