AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional folding vehicles with a single wheel on one side and a pair of wheels on the other side face issues where the handle or hand may come into contact with the wheels during folding, leading to soiling.

Method used

A vehicle design with front and rear wheels positioned symmetrically, featuring a pivotable frame, a steering unit supported above the wheels, and fenders that restrict handle movement to prevent contact with rear wheels during folding, along with stands for stable upright positioning.

Benefits of technology

Prevents handlebars and hands from getting dirty, allows easy folding and storage, and maintains stability in the folded position, reducing the need for additional movement restricting parts.

Abstract

A vehicle (100) comprises: a first frame (10) extending from a front wheel (1) to a rear wheel (2) in the front-rear direction; a second frame (20); a steering unit (23) supported on the second frame (20); a support unit (40) which supports the steering unit (23) so as to be movable about a pivot axis such that the steering unit (23) is disposed above the front wheel (1) when the vehicle (100) is in a traveling position, and the steering unit (23) is disposed above the rear wheel (2) when the vehicle (100) is in a folded position; and a movement restriction unit (14) which is mounted near the rear wheel (2), and restricts the steering unit (23) from approaching the rear wheel (2) when the vehicle (100) is changed from the traveling position to the folded position.
