A scooter includes a frame which has a footboard and supports a rear wheel, a steering column provided with a front wheel pivotably mounted on the frame, and a motor provided with a drive shaft coupled to the rear wheel via a transmission system. The transmission system includes a rear transverse shaft having a first end portion and a second end portion rotatably coupled to the rear wheel; —a gear system having a sprocket coupled rotatably to the first end portion and in meshing engagement with a toothed gear rotatably coupled to the drive shaft; and—a rear structure attached to the frame, supporting the gear system and the rear transverse shaft, and extending laterally along one side only—right or left—of the rear wheel, such that the second end portion extends from the rear structure to support the rear wheel in a cantilevered fashion.

The invention relates to a chassis, suitable for use in electric vehicles, characterized in that it comprises: a substantially planar loading bed, suitable for receiving a load on top of same, which is located between at least two front wheels and at least one rear wheel of an electric vehicle; wherein said loading bed comprises a channel the chassis also comprises a central shaft housed in said channel; wherein the loading bed is connected so as to pivot relative to said central shaft; wherein the loading bed comprises a plurality of battery housings distributed symmetrically; and the chassis comprises a rear traction and steering assembly and a front suspension and inclination assembly. The invention likewise relates to an electric vehicle comprising said chassis.

The present invention relates to a recumbent vehicle (10), more particularly, it relates to a recreational electrically (38, 40, 42) and/or pedal-powered recumbent vehicle (10), specifically suited for use as a golf cart (100). The recumbent vehicle (10) includes a chassis (12), two front wheels (14A, 14B), a rear wheel (16), a reclined seat (18), a footrest (20) located forwardly of the rotary axis of the front wheel and an unobstructed load bay (22) between the chassis (12), the rear wheel (16) and a backrest of the reclined seat (18).

A ski bike and conversion kit for converting a conventional bicycle to a ski bike include at least a rear ski assembly configured to replace a rear wheel of the bicycle. The rear ski assembly includes first and second ski mounts configured to receive corresponding first and second skis. The ski mounts are deployed on a frame that is configured to couple the ski mounts to the bicycle in place of the rear wheel. The frame and ski mounts are rotatably connected to one another and configured such that tilting the ski bike (e.g., to steer) causes the first and second ski mounts to tilt at corresponding angles that are greater than the tilt of the ski bike.
