Abstract: An apparatus includes a vehicle frame, a swing arm and a fuel tank. The vehicle frame includes a front portion and a rear portion and defines a longitudinal centerline therebetween. The front portion is configured to support a recumbent seat. The rear portion is configured to be coupled to the swing arm and. The swing arm defines a longitudinal centerline and includes a wheel mounting portion configured to be coupled to a wheel assembly. The wheel mounting portion defines a radial axis that is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle frame in at least one plane. The fuel tank is coupled to the rear portion of the vehicle frame such that the fuel tank is above the longitudinal centerline of the swing arm.

Abstract: A modular seat back storage system for storing a case in conjunction with a vehicle seat. The case is received in a rigid pocket secured within a recess formed between the seat back shell and foam bun of the vehicle seat. The case may alternatively be received in a rigid pocket that is mounted to the rear facing surface of the seat back shell. The case may be used to store a wide variety of objects and may function as a diaper bag, brief case, portable desk, tool case, picnic basket or back pack. Different cases could be provided and interchanged with difference cases for different particularized storage functions.

Abstract: A handle assembly for a lift gate of a vehicle is movable between a stowed position and an extended position. The handle has a grip section and two legs extending from the grip section. The handle is secured within a pocket of an inside panel of the lift gate with the two legs of the handle being pivotally secured to two sides of the pocket. In the stowed position, the grip section is retained within the pocket. In the extended position, the grip section is extended from the pocket. The force of gravity causes the handle to move between the stowed position and extended position as the lift gate is closed and opened, respectfully. A tail gate has handle that is rotatable mounted within a tail gate handle recess pocket.
