Abstract:
1. A vehicle reconfigurable between an unfolded configuration and a folded configuration comprising: a body having opposing right and left lateral sides, opposing front and rear ends, and opposing upper and lower parts extending between the lateral sides and the ends; a first wheel and a second wheel each operatively mounted to the body to at least partially support the body for movement; a first suspension assembly and a second suspension assembly pivotally connecting each of the first wheel and the second wheel to the body; a linkage connecting the body to each of the first and second wheels, the linkage adapted to pivot each wheel with respect to the body; and a linear compression bias member mounted between the upper and lower parts of the body to bias the upper part of the body away from the lower part of the body, wherein the vehicle transforms from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration by compression of the upper part and lower part together to actuate the linkage and compress the linear compression bias member.
