ABSTRACT:
A self propelled two speed vehicle suitable for use as a golf cart, in which the frame is arranged to carry one or two golfers and/or their golf clubs over short distances such as are encountered in golf course use. The cart is provided with a low level flat rearwardly directed riding platform applied between the two rear wheels of the vehicle which enables one or two persons to ride the scooter by standing on the platform, in side by side relation where two persons are to ride the vehicle, with the vehicle frame and platform being arranged for ease of mounting and dismounting same by stepping up or stepping down from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle has a single foot actuated control lever for actuating or stopping the vehicle, and a steering wheel for steering the vehicle front wheel, which control lever and steering wheel are centered so that a rider standing in either the right or left side positions on the riding platform can operate the scooter vehicle. The vehicle is arranged so that instead of being ridden in the manner indicated, the vehicle can be actuated and led by a pedestrian vehicle user who also acts as the vehicle operator by grasping an auxiliary control arm in the nature of a draw bar that in its normally inoperated position projects upright from the front of the vehicle, it being spring biased in this position, and with the walking user grasping same and drawing it forwardly of the vehicle to a near horizontal position.
