Abstract:

A multi-wheeled cycle comprising a frame, a main wheel, and at least one auxiliary wheel secured for rotation at one end of the frame forwardly or rearwardly of the main wheel, and a spaced-apart pair of auxiliary wheels secured for rotation at the other end of the frame rearwardly or forwardly of the main wheel. The main wheel is held for rotation to the mid-portion of the frame and includes a conventional crank and pedal assembly for foot rotation of the main wheel while the user is seated atop the cycle. The bottom of the main wheel lies below the plane defined by the bottoms of the auxiliary wheels to facilitate unique maneuvering and operation. The main wheel may also be pivotable about a vertical axis passing through it. All axes of rotation of the wheels are generally horizontal.
