  • Publication number: 20150329164
    Abstract: A human powered land vehicle has two steered front wheels (3, 3.1) and at least one rear wheel (2) driven by a drive train. The drive train incorporates a human powered actuator (13) to be actuated for propulsion of the vehicle (1) by a person driving the vehicle (1). This actuator (13) is cinematically coupled to the rear wheel (2) for propulsing the vehicle in at least one driving direction. A first suggestion is defined—in that the axis A3 of the human powered actuator (13) is arranged in the longitudinal extension of the vehicle (1) in front of the axis A1, A11 of rotation of the front wheels (3, 3.1), —in that three dimensions are defined in the x-y plane of the vehicle, which are (a) a distance d1 between the centre B of rotation of the axis A2 of the rear wheel (2) and the centre D of rotation of the axis A3 of the human powered actuator (13), (b) a distance d2 between the centre A of rotation of the axis (A1, A1.1) of the front wheel (3, 3.

  • Publication number: 20150329173
    Abstract: A human powered land vehicle 1 has two steered front wheels and one rear wheel driven by a drive train. The drive train incorporates a human powered actuator 13 to be actuated for propulsion of the vehicle by a person driving the vehicle 1 and is cinematically coupled to a driven wheel 2 for propulsing the vehicle 1 in at least one driving direction. The vehicle 1 further disposes of a non-human powered actuator 16 arranged to drive at least one of the wheels of the vehicle. The drive train between the human powered actuator 13 and the driven wheel 2 comprises at least two drive train segments 14, 14.1, whereas between two drive train segments 14, 14.1 the driving power is transferred from a first driving means 21 of a first drive train segment 14 to a second driving means 17 of a second drive train segment 14.1.
