ABSTRACT:
A chassis member with rear wheels and a battery compartment has a detachable connection with an upright front wheeled support. The front wheeled support has a steering handle assembly pivotally connected thereto which can be locked in upright position or swung rearwardly into a folded position parallel with the front wheeled support, or pivoted forwardly for use as a dolly-type handle. An electric motor is mounted on the front wheeled support and has lead wires to the battery and to a switch operated by a belt tightener providing driving power when a hand lever is depressed but providing free wheeling when the lever is released. The lead wires for the battery are of a length and have disconnects which allow the battery to be carried on the person if desired. The cart is adapted to receive a removable seat and when knocked down consists of the chassis member, the front wheeled support, the battery, and the seat if the latter is used. The cart can be used to transport a person either in a sit down or stand up position, it has luggage carrying arms on the front wheeled support, it can be used as a dolly with or without power from the battery, and importantly, each of the dismantled parts are small and light enough for easy carrying by most persons and capable of being stored in overhead airplane or other vehicle storage areas.
