Abstract: This disclosure relates to novel improved recumbent vehicles having a frame comprising an elongate tubular support means adapted to substantially entirely enclose within its interior the vehicle's primary drive means thereby eliminating risk of rider entanglement. Other features of recumbent vehicles according to the invention include a steering assembly including handlebars selectively positionable along the frame and diametrically interconnected by steering cable means to a front fork selectively positionable along the frame and rotatably supporting a front wheel providing for nearly 90.degree. steering movement of the front wheel, and a seat means selectively positionable along the frame to accommodate various size riders and adapted to support a rider without the need for complicated seat bracing apparatus.
