ABSTRACT:
The golf vehicle has steerable front wheels on a front portion of a frame together with a steering mechanism which includes an upstanding rearwardly inclined handle bar. A pair of drive wheels and a power source drivingly connected to the drive wheels are on a rear portion of the frame. A seat unit is mounted on the rear portion of the frame and has adjustment means for moving the seat rearwardly and forwardly along a plurality of longitudinal positions and for pivoting the seat 360.degree. in any of these longitudinal positions. The pivot axis of the seat is so located that when the seat is pivoted 180.degree. from a front operating position, the front edge of the seat will extend rearwardly beyond the rear end of the frame rear portion so as to readily enable an occupant of the vehicle to make golf shots while seated. In a modification, the seat is fixed on a seat frame which is pivotable and lockable in any of the pivoted positions. The pivot axis of the seat frame is at the rear of the seat such that when the seat is pivoted 90.degree., 180.degree. or 270.degree. the front of the seat frame protrudes well beyond the side and rear outlines of the vehicle.
