ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for frictionally engaging and driving a rotatable wheel of a lightweight vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus has a pivotable handle which is movable between a first and a second position. In the first position the handle blocks access to a fuel tank while permitting operation of the engine and engagement of a driven friction surface with the rotatable wheel. In the second position of the handle, the engine is inoperable, the fuel tank may be refilled, and the friction surface cannot engage the rotatable wheel. Preferably, the handle provides means for pivoting the engine to and from a position in which the friction surface engages the rotatable wheel and for operationally engaging an electrical switch to control operation of the engine.
