ABSTRACT:
Several embodiments of small vehicles having a relatively narrow body frame assembly supporting front and rear wheels at its ends through suspension systems. A single seat is carried by an upwardly extending rearward portion of the body frame assembly. The body frame assembly is narrow so that a person can stand beside the seat and lower himself into it without having to climb into the vehicle. Various battery arrangements are disclosed all of which have the batteries disposed so that they are inserted and removed in a generally horizontal direction to minimize the degree of lifting required for replacement and insertion.
