Description

FIG. 1 is an elevated front perspective view of a sidecar showing the new design in an illustrative use case coupled to a bicycle (the view of the bicycle itself being substantially identical from both sides);

FIG. 2 is a lower rear perspective view of the sidecar of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a front elevation view of the sidecar of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view of the sidecar of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a left side elevation view of the sidecar of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a right side elevation view of the sidecar of FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the sidecar of FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view of the sidecar of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 9 is a right side elevation view of the sidecar of FIG. 1, attached to the bicycle shown in FIG. 1.

The claimed ornamental design is shown embodied on an assembly that may be used, for example, as a side car of a bicycle (e.g., electric, manual) and/or motorcycle. By way of example and not limitation, the add-on (e.g., releasably attached) side car may advantageously be applied to a two-wheeled vehicle to form a tricycle design. In an illustrative example, the claimed ornamental design may operate as an add-on passenger carrier (e.g., releasably attached). The broken line showing of the bicycle is provided for the purpose of illustrating environmental structure and form no part of the claimed design.

Claims
