ABSTRACT:
Relates to a lightweight electric battery powered motor vehicle which is divisible into separable front, middle and rear sections. The front section includes a pair of steerable road engaging wheels, the middle section includes a seating compartment for two or three persons, and the rear section includes a single road engaging drive wheel driven by an electric motor. The basic supporting structure of the vehicle is served by a double set of longitudinally extending main frame members each preferably of tubular cross-section and extending through the middle section and into the front and rear sections of the vehicle. The hollow interiors of the tubular frame members are substantially filled with resiliently compressible and deformable balls which are compressibly engagable with one another when external forces are applied against either bumper in the direction of the vehicle and transferred to the balls by the push rods associated with each bumper.
