TRANSPORTATION DEVICE WITH NON-TRANSPORTATION FEATURE

Abstract

The present invention relates to a children's transport device, scooter, bicycle, wagon, and/or ride-on with added non-transportation features that are activated and powered electronically, mechanically, and/or by movement of wheels or other part of the device, whereby rider or user in various embodiments can be situated in at least one of the following positions: standing, sitting, knelling, or squatting, and the invention could include at least one seat. In at least one embodiment the non-transportation feature is powered through electric or mechanical connection to the wheels or intermediary of vehicle so that rotation of wheels during movement will activate and power the non-transport features.
