Abstract: A childs wheeled riding toy of the three wheeled type having a front steerable wheel and a pair of rear motor driven wheels in which the child sits astride of the toy with his feet resting on opposed foot rest positions of the toy is disclosed having a pair of direct current motors, gear reduction coupled in driving relation to respective rear toy wheels and a pair of like storage batteries for powering the motors. A control circuit for selectively energizing the motors includes a switching arrangement for connecting the batteries in series and to the motors for high speed toy operation, and in parallel and to the motors for low speed operation. A second switching arrangement for disconnecting the motors from the batteries and for connecting the motors to a resistive load for dynamic braking is also included.

Abstract: A battery structure comprising: an enclosure; fuse receiving recess means in the enclosure open on at least one side of the enclosure to allow direct entry of a fuse from outside the enclosure; at least one cell comprising a cell terminal within the enclosure; first and second fuse holder terminals rigidly supported in the fuse receiving recess means to hold fuse terminals; and an electrical connection between the cell terminal and the first fuse; holder terminal, said enclosure comprising immovable means enclosing the connection and the cell terminal.
