An articulated tricycle of the swingable type employing a front body and a rear body, the front body having a front wheel and a rear body having two rear wheels mounted on an axle or axles. The rear body includes a first body member and a second body member. The first body member is pivoted about a longitudinal axis to the front body while the second body member is pivotally mounted about a transverse axis to the first body member. The second body member includes mounting for the rear wheels. The second body member may be divided into two links to provide independent rear suspension for the wheels. A gear train extends between an engine, located in the first body member, and the rear axle or axles. This gear train is shown to include a chain or belt drive and may include two such chains or belts when the second body member employs two links. Either the rear axle, or, in the case of the multiple link second body member, the transverse drive shaft may include a differential mechanism for providing some relative pivotal movement of one rear wheel relative to the other.
