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 and support for batteries and controls therefor. 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 front and rear sections of the vehicle include sleeve-like appurtenances which telescopingly fit over the terminal ends of the tubular frame members thereby enabling the front and rear sections to be easily slid off for repairs or replacement. A passenger compartment is supported by the mid-sections of the vehicle's main frame members in such a manner as to yieldingly resist slidable movement of the compartment in the fore and aft direction of the vehicle in the event of receiving a severe bumper shock.
