Abstract:
1. A lightweight folding motorized chair with mechanical traction steering comprising: a folding quadrilateral mainframe that folds into a substantially flat grouping of frame members when in a fully folded configuration; a pair of traction wheels mounted for free rotation near a rear of the folding quadrilateral mainframe; a pair of caster wheels mounted near a front of the folding quadrilateral mainframe; a driving and braking system frictionally engageable with one or both of the traction wheels; a left and a right control lever for selectively moving the driving system and the braking system into engagement with one or both of the traction wheels for tractionally propelling, braking and steering the folding motorized chair; and wherein the left and the right control levers are mechanically sequenced, by the folding of the quadrilateral mainframe, to fold into a substantially flat position relative to the folding quadrilateral mainframe when in the fully folded configuration.
