Embodiment Construction
[0120] According to the invention, the vehicle arrangement has at least one castor wheel mounted on the vehicle frame for swivel movement about a vertical axis. The caster is controlled by a steering mechanism for manipulating the direction of the caster. A disconnect is provided to disconnect the caster from the steering mechanism so that the caster is free to turn as the vehicle is propelled or powered. The steering assembly can be disconnected and has two working positions:
[0121] (a) an "off" or pushable / stroller position in which a locking pin or similar device disconnects the steering mechanism and caster assembly so that the caster can swivel freely when a caregiver pushes or pulls it; and
[0122] (b) "Linked" or rider-operable position in which a locking pin or similar device connects the steering mechanism to the caster assembly so that the caster can be steered within a limited range of swivel by an occupant-operated steering wheel or lever arrangement.
