Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/046264

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A small-sized vehicle, comprising a pair of turnable right and left front wheels (2f, 2f), a handle column disposed between the both front wheels (2f, 2f) in a standing state and supporting a steering handle (3), a steering mechanism disposed between the both front wheels (2f, 2f) to interlock the steering handle (3) with the both front wheels (2f, 2f), a foot-resting part for a driver disposed at the rear of the handle column, and a seat for the driver disposed at the rear of the foot-resting part. A movable fender (35) covering the upper part of each of the front wheels (2f) and turned together with each of the front wheels (2f) is so disposed that at least a part of the fender comes into the view (A) of the driver (D) seated on the seat (6). As a result, the small-sized vehicle does not provide an intimidating feeling to pedestrians while it travels on a sidewalk and the driver can always accurately recognize the state of the front wheels during the traveling.
