Tricycle with two riding modes

Abstract

The present invention discloses a tricycle having two riding modes, the tricycle comprising: a frame, a single-wheel assembly and a first handlebar mounting base that are disposed at one longitudinal end of the frame, a double-wheel assembly and a second handlebar mounting base that are disposed at the other longitudinal end of the frame, a transmission mechanism disposed between the second handlebar mounting base and the first handlebar mounting base, and a handlebar assembly selectively disposed on the first handlebar mounting base or the second handlebar mounting base, the single-wheel assembly comprising a steering wheel and a first pedal for driving the steering wheel to roll, the double-wheel assembly comprising two wheels widthwise spaced apart and a second pedal for driving the two wheels to roll. The tricycle has a first riding mode with single front wheel and double rear wheels and a second riding mode with double front wheels and single rear wheel. The tricycle of the present invention may easily switch between two riding modes and may increase the fun of riding.

1 . A tricycle having two riding modes, the tricycle comprising:
 a frame;   a single-wheel assembly and a first handlebar mounting base that are disposed at one longitudinal end of said frame, wherein said single-wheel assembly comprises a steering wheel;   a double-wheel assembly and a second handlebar mounting base that are disposed at the other longitudinal end of said frame, wherein said double-wheel assembly, comprises two wheels widthwise spaced apart, and a pedal for rolling said two wheels;   a handlebar assembly selectively disposed on said first handlebar mounting base or on said second handlebar mounting base; and   a transmission mechanism, which is capable of coordinating between said handlebar assembly and said steering wheel, when said handlebar assembly is disposed on said second handlebar mounting base, for forming a steering assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The tricycle of  claim 1 , further comprising a saddle, said frame having disposed thereon a first saddle mounting base and a second saddle mounting base, the saddle being disposed on the first saddle mounting base in the first riding mode, while the saddle being disposed on the second saddle mounting base in the second riding mode. 
     
     
         3 . The tricycle of  claim 1 , wherein the single-wheel assembly further comprises a wheel impact absorption mechanism disposed in the steering wheel for buffering the bounce of the steering wheel. 
     
     
         4 . The tricycle of  claim 1 , wherein the double-wheel assembly further comprises two wheel impact absorption mechanisms respectively disposed in two wheels for buffering the bounce of the two wheels. 
     
     
         5 . The tricycle of  claim 1 , wherein the double-wheel assembly further comprises two clutching mechanisms respectively disposed at the two wheels for respectively controlling whether the horizontal axes of the two wheels and the pedal are coupled together. 
     
     
         6 . The tricycle of  claim 1 , wherein the first handlebar mounting base comprises: a vertically-disposed tube, a body of steering mechanism disposed in the tube, said body of steering mechanism being coupled to the single-wheel assembly and directly coordinating with the handlebar assembly to form a steering assembly in the first riding mode. 
     
     
         7 . The tricycle of  claim 1 , wherein the second handlebar mounting base comprises: a vertically-disposed tube, a transmission interface mechanism disposed in the tube, where the transmission mechanism coordinates between the handlebar assembly and the steering wheel through said transmission interface mechanism, so as to form a steering assembly in the second riding mode. 
     
     
         8 . The tricycle of  claim 1 , wherein the tricycle further comprises a housing detachably disposed on the frame.
