Filed:
Apr 7, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/835001
Inventors:
John Davis - Yankton SD
International Classification:
B62K 506
US Classification:

Abstract:
A light weight, stowable golf cart powered by a pedaled drive train. An enclosed box frame supports three extra wide, non-pneumatic tires which are pedal powered through a push button controlled, multi-speed transmission and separate endless chain and belt drive linkages. A rear differential transfers drive power to split rear axles and the rear wheels to enhance maneuverability. Fabric fenders mount over the rear wheels. A fabric semi-recumbant seat and bag support adjust fore and aft along a railed track. A tiller handle mounts to a head tube containing pre-mounted bearings. Cable controlled front caliper brakes mount to a front fork and wheel. Foot controlled brakes operate through the multi-speed transmission. The cart disassembles for shipping, storage and transport.
