Abstract
A position adjusting system for use in a vehicle includes a seat for supporting a rider, a rear wheel and a steerable front wheel, a steering arrangement including a handlebar for allowing the rider to control the steerable wheel, and a hub for interconnecting the components of the wheeled vehicle. The steerable wheel is steerable about at least two axes. The position adjusting system includes an adjustable seat support movably connected to the hub, an adjustable handlebar support movably connected to the hub, and a releasable position locking system configured to lock the position of the components of the vehicle relative to the hub. The hub includes a first portion and second portion, wherein the first and second portions are moveably connected to one another, such as by pivoting, sliding, orbiting, or a combination thereof. The hub permits adjustment of the angle between the steering axes.
