ABSTRACT:
An improved golf cart is provided which comprises a frame bearing a seat having a high back, a pair of rear wheels flanking the seat and a front wheel, a set of foot cranks, a drive chain interconnecting the foot cranks and rear wheels, a steering assembly and a golf bag rack behind the back seat. To the upper part of the back rest are attached rearwardly extending rollers so that the cart can be tilted up to rest and ride on the rear wheels and rollers for compact storage and transport of the cart. An L-shaped support bracket may be secured to a car bumper for supporting and transporting the cart in the tilted up position. The cart may include an arm depending from the frame and engageable with the bracket and connectors to aid in holding the cart on the bracket. The cart can also include gears, a gear shift mechanism, brakes and a brake lever. The steering assembly can include a transverse bar pivoted to the frame below the front of the seat, and a forwardly extending link rod pivoted at one end to the bar and at the opposite end to one side of the fork holding the front wheel. The bar bears spaced handles, so that pivoting of the bar pivots the front wheel. The bar-frame pivot point and the link-bar pivot point are on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis of the frame. The cart is simple, durable, inexpensive, offers good exercise and is easy to move about, store and transport.
