Presented is a multipurpose vehicle capable of being used by a user for travelling related purposes. The multipurpose vehicle comprises a vehicle frame comprising a vehicle rack and a plurality of connector portions, a plurality of swing arms, a plurality of lever arms, a plurality of hinge arms, a plurality of wing board(s) and a plurality of side boards. Each lever arm comprises a connector arrangement for removably connecting the lever arm to the vehicle rack. A handle is connected to a connector portion of the vehicle frame and the handle is manually operable to enable adjustment of the rotation of at least two swing arm(s). The multipurpose vehicle could be positioned in multiple operating modes by operating at least one of the handle and/or connector arrangement(s).

Provided is a rear carrier that facilitates mass concentration when a carrier member movable in a front-rear direction is moved frontward. A rear carrier for a saddled vehicle includes a swing member and a carrier member. The swing member is supported by a grab rail fixed to a rear portion of a vehicle body. The carrier member is supported by the swing member. The swing member is swingably supported on its one end side by the grab rail, and is swingably supported on its opposite side by the carrier member. Swinging of the swing member enables the carrier member to move between a front-side position and a rear-side position. When the carrier member is set at the front-side position, the carrier member is supported by a seat of the saddled vehicle.

A latching mechanism removably attaches an accessory to an offroad vehicle without requiring tools. The latching mechanism includes a body, a shaft extending through the body, and a handle riding on a conical surface of the body for rotating the shaft relative to the body. An oblong head extends on a lower side of the body, rotatable by the handle and shaft to a position where the head extends under a shoulder of a mounting recess. A spring system biases the head axially, such that the head can be moved either upwardly or downwardly from a balanced elevation set by a nut tightenable on a bolt. The mounting recess has an upper portion shaped differently from a lower portion. The body includes a hooking portion which extends significantly above the top of the mounting recess.

A sporting equipment carrier for mounting onto a bicycle, the carrier being able to be customized as needed to a variety of different sporting equipment despite the wildly disparate sizes and shapes of different types of equipment for different sports. A core support which attaches to the seat post of the bicycle by means of a clamp, and has members so it projects backward away from the seat over the rear wheel of the bicycle. One or more mating arms and diverse attachment points allow the connection of equipment holders on one or more sides of the rear wheel. The holders are for different types of sporting equipment: skis, snow boards, surf boards, skates, skate boards, baskets for smaller items having apertures through the sides for long smaller items, etc. The equipment holders may be easily removed and replaced with another holder.

A connecting arrangement is provided for fastening lateral luggage containers on a motor vehicle, in particular to a motorcycle or a motorcycle-like vehicle, and a vehicle including the connecting arrangement. The connecting arrangement includes a rear vehicle frame section and a carrier element movably connected thereon. The carrier element extends transversely to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle frame section, and has a lateral left-hand end designed for connecting to a left-hand luggage container and at a lateral right-hand end designed for connecting to a right-hand luggage container. The invention further relates to a vehicle having a corresponding connecting arrangement.
