ABSTRACT:
A two-wheeled vehicle comprising a frame having two wheels suspended rotatably therein, whereof the one is driven and the other is steerable relative to the frame via a subframe, wherein the frame bears a saddle-like seat element in addition to a rotatable steering member, wherein the subframe for the steerable wheel is situated under the seat element and the driven wheel under the steering member and wherein a coupling mechanism is arranged between the steering member and the sub-frame, whereby due to the reversal of the wheel function it is possible to directly drive the front wheel whereby the distance between both wheels can be considerably reduced, and therewith the length of the bicycle, while preserving a comparatively large wheel diameter.
