In an aspect, a pivot joint for a collapsing foot-deck-based vehicle is described, comprising a foot deck, at least two wheels coupled to the foot deck, and a handlebar assembly coupled to the foot deck via a locking pivot joint, also referred to as a locking swivel joint, the handlebar assembly comprising at least one handle, the locking pivot joint having a pivot axis that is generally unparallel with a horizontal plane defined by the lowermost surfaces of the at least two wheels, the handlebar assembly being selectively pivotable via the locking pivot joint between a riding configuration in which the handle is generally distal from the foot deck and a collapsed configuration in which the handle is generally proximal to the foot deck.

In an aspect, a collapsing foot-deck-based vehicle is provided and includes a foot deck, at least two wheels coupled to the foot deck, and a handle structure coupled to the foot deck via a locking pivot joint. The handle structure includes at least one handle. The locking pivot joint has a pivot axis that is generally unparallel with a horizontal plane defined by the lowermost surfaces of the at least two wheels. The handle structure is selectively pivotable via the locking pivot joint between a riding configuration in which the handle is generally distal from the foot deck for gripping by a rider of the foot-deck-based vehicle, and a collapsed configuration in which the handle is generally proximal to the foot deck.

A vehicle including a drive wheel and a set of pedals coupled to the drive wheel. The vehicle includes a steering shaft connected to two front wheels. The vehicle includes a front load unit that may be engaged to be supported on a subframe between the two front wheels, the load unit being convertible between passenger seat and cargo storage configurations. In an aspect, the front load unit includes a horizontal load area and a substantially vertical shell forming a back wall and side walls. The front load unit may include a foot support hingedly mounted to the horizontal load area and pivotable between a lower position when the front load unit is configured as a passenger seat and a raised position parallel to the horizontal load area when the front load unit is configured as a cargo storage area.

A cargo bicycle which can be driven using muscle power and/or an electric drive, with at least one pick-up area in or on which or at least one swap body and/or an additional load can be or is positioned and with at least one driver area which is positioned in front of the pick-up area in regard to the direction of travel of the cargo bicycle and which includes at least one seat unit, one pedal unit, one steering unit, one flashing roof element at least over the driver area and one at least area by area limiting floor plate of a floor unit in the driver area in the direction of the travel surface. The floor plate and roof element include at least an area by area distance to one another which is at least the body size of an operator.

A bodywork for a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a scooter, has a roof element and a storage compartment. The roof element has at least two roof struts and a cover for the storage compartment. The roof element is mounted so as to pivot around an axis of pivot between at least two positions. In a first, lower position of the roof element, the roof struts are arranged in a stored position, the storage compartment has a reduced volume and is closed by the cover. In a second, upper position, the roof struts are arranged above a driver's seat and the storage compartment has an enlarged volume.
