COLLAPSIBLE VEHICLE
A powered vehicle has a rear frame assembly and a front frame assembly that are pivotally attached to one another, and can be pivoted from a normal fully-extended operating position to a folded position in which the frame assemblies are positioned substantially adjacent to one another, effectively reducing overall vehicle length to about half. One or more latch members lock the front and rear frame assemblies in the fully-extended, normal operating position, and they may be used to lock the frame assemblies in the folded position. The seat support structure may be integrated with the front and rear frame assemblies such that pivoting the frame assemblies toward the folded position collapses the seat support. The steering tiller may also be collapsible toward the front frame assembly. The rear wheels may be mounted on a transaxle that is pivotally mounted on the rear frame assembly. An extendable handle may be provided to assist in the folding operation and to tow the collapsed vehicle on its anti-tip rollers.

Mobility and exercise vehicle
A pump-action mobility and exercise device may include a pumping arm attached to a foot slide. As the pumping arm is actuated, the foot slide moves forward and rearward in response to the pumping action. The foot slide can also be moved by a user's foot movement. The foot slide may be connected to a drive mechanism that selectively engages a chain or belt that loops around a drive wheel arranged on an axle of the vehicle. When the drive mechanism catches and moves the belt or chain in a forward direction, the axle rotates in a forward direction to drive the vehicle forward. A reverse mechanism may also be provided that selectively causes the drive mechanism to catch and drive the belt or chain in an opposite direction.

Powered personal mobility vehicle with rotating wheels
An electric powered personal mobility vehicle that includes at least one front wheel and an electric motor that provides rotational force to a wheel of the vehicle. The electric motor is supported by the vehicle and is powered by a rechargeable battery that is also supported by the vehicle. The vehicle can also include swivel caster wheels each configured to rotate about a wheel axis.

FOLDING PORTABLE ELECTRIC SCOOTER
A three wheeled stand-up or sit down foldable and portable electric personal mobility vehicle suited to fulfilling the needs of a broad spectrum of users. The front end wheel assembly comprises an electrically powered front wheel hub motor that provides power to move forward and backward. An electric control box mounted flush to the steering fork assembly with means of electrically connecting hub motor, battery, and controls. An upper sub-part comprises a telescopic handlebar to control direction of the front wheel, controls comprising a brake lever, throttle, and forward/reverse switch to control speed, and an ignition headlight assembly with removable keys. Below the handle bars comprise a folding column enabling the steering column and handlebar assembly to fold down. A lower subpart comprises a foldable metal support frame comprising hinged pivot points at the lower rear to mate with rear chassis allowing front wheel assembly to fold down upon the rear chassis, comprising a mechanism to secure the front frame assembly into a locked, unfolded position (ready to drive) or in an unlocked folded position (ready to stow). Continuing further down the front support frame comprises a kick out support wheel which drops down and touches the ground when moving to folded position allowing for the rear chassis to form a tri pod stance between the two rear wheels and the kick out wheel. Conversely, when moving into unfolded position, said support wheel tucks back under rear chassis. A second part, a rear chassis assembly comprising a flat platform surface mounted on a rectangular metal frame. Said metal frame comprises a mounting bracket for a removable seat post and a rear axle connected to the frame in which respective left and right rear wheels are mounted. Rear chassis further comprises a metal housing recessed under said flat platform which comprises a removable battery pack and electrical means for charging and providing power to the front frame assembly electrical systems. The front end of the rear chassis frame comprises respective pivot points to mate with front frame assembly comprising a centered U shaped notch in the frame to allow the fastening or releasing mechanism to set into place securely connecting front chassis to rear chassis into upright and ready to drive position or releasing from ready to drive position and folding for stowing.
