MOBILITY SCOOTER WITH EASY ACCESS
The invention relates to a mobility scooter for individual mobility of a person, comprising a chassis, two front wheels aside the chassis and at least one rear wheel, a seat with a seat base and armrests for the person, a footrest on the chassis that extends between the seat and the front wheels, and an electronic controller assembly, wherein the mobility scooter has a driving mode and a boarding mode, wherein in the driving mode the seat base and the armrests are in the driving position, and wherein in the boarding mode the seat base or at least one of the armrests is in the boarding position, wherein the electronic controller is configured to steer the front wheels in the boarding mode into the sideward steering direction that is opposite to the side to which the seat base or the armrest is swung in the boarding position.
Motor assisted pedal apparatus
A transportation apparatus that combines pedaled and motored locomotion as selected by the rider. The apparatus includes a set of structural frames including a front frame and a rear frame. In an embodiment of the invention, the front frame and rear frame may be folded together to reduce the size of the apparatus for storage. The apparatus includes a pedal set coupled to a prime mover and motion transfer element located to the front end of the apparatus that together enable pedaled movement without a front axle. One or more rear wheels are motorized for pedal assistance or direct motorized locomotion. The apparatus is relatively low weight and can transport a plurality of passengers.
Wheelchair accessible cycle
A wheelchair accessible cycle that can be driven on a surface and operated from a wheelchair. The wheelchair accessible cycle comprising a frame and a platform. The frame has a front portion with a first wheel and a rear portion with second and third wheels. The platform is disposed laterally between the second and the third wheels and longitudinally between the front and rear portions of the frame. The platform is configurable to transport the wheelchair and pivotally moveable between a tilted position, where a free edge of the platform is in contact with the surface for rollably receiving the wheelchair, and a horizontal position, where the platform is generally horizontal and the wheelchair is adjacent to the front portion of the frame when the wheelchair is loaded onto the platform.

MOBILE WALKING AID
A mobile walking aid includes an undercarriage, a frame and a support for a person's leg. The undercarriage comprises a two-wheeled front axle and a rear axle. The rear axle can be converted between a single-wheeled version with a first wheel, and a two-wheeled version. In order to convert from the single-wheeled version to the two-wheeled version, a conversion kit can be provided which comprises an axle extension that can be mounted on the axle of the first wheel, and a second wheel. The axle extension can be mounted, optionally, on both sides of the axle of the first wheel which is arranged laterally and centrally between the front wheels.

FOLDING VEHICLE FRAME
A folding scooter frame (100) includes a front frame (1), a rear frame (2), a linkage rod (3) and a seat support frame (4). The front frame (1) and the rear frame (2) are pivotally connected. A front end of the linkage rod (3) is connected with the front frame (1), and a rear end of the linkage rod (3) is pivotally connected with a slider (5). A support rod of the seat support frame (4) is pivotally connected with the slider (5), the slider (5) is slidably provided on the rear frame (2). The linkage rod (3) is able to swing as the front vehicle frame (1) is folded and thus drives the slider (5) to slide so as to make the slider (5) drive the seat support frame (4) to fold. The folding scooter frame (100) has the advantages of quick and convenient folding operations.
