ABSTRACT:
A lightweight self-propelled vehicle of the tricycle type with all controls reachable by an occupant seated in a wheelchair. A retractable ramp lowers to ground level to permit entry of a person in a wheelchair. The person raises the ramp to provide clearance with the ground, and locks the raised ramp and the wheelchair to the frame of the vehicle. A small horsepower gasoline engine drives the rear wheels via a centrifugal clutch and a single speed transmission having a reversing gear. A hand hydraulic pump operates a hydraulic cylinder for raising and lowering the wheelchair ramp.
