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.

A three wheeled stand-up or sit down foldable and portable electric personal mobility vehicle for fulfilling the needs of a broad spectrum of users including the handicapped and recreational users. The personal mobility vehicle has two major parts, including a front wheel frame assembly and a rear frame chassis assembly. These major parts are configured to easily fold into a smaller size so that the vehicle can be easily transportable and more conveniently stored. Furthermore, a versatile seat and seat post are implemented to enable a user to sit or stand, and the seat can be easily removed, without tools, to create more space should a user wish.
