ABSTRACT:
A three wheel vehicle having an operator seat at its forward end and a step assembly swingably mounted to the vehicle at a point forward of the seat. A control plate of the step assembly is swingably positioned by a powered actuating device. First and second steps are raised and lowered simultaneously by the control plate and in their lowermost position provide step access to the vehicle seat while in an elevated position provide a footrest for a seated operator. Pairs of links interconnect the steps. An additional pair of links connect the control plate to one of the steps. A pair of control bars are attached to and brace the forwardmost step and the vehicle body. A fully retracted position of the step assembly swings the control plate forwardly so that it may serve as a hitch component for coupling to a towing vehicle.
