Abstract

A mini foldable cycle having a single front wheel for steering and a pair of adjacent wheels in tandem located at the rear for propelling the vehicle. The tandem arranged rear wheels, with the front tandem wheel slightly higher than the rear tandem wheel, gives the cycle the feel and comfort of a large wheeled vehicle so that very small wheels are required. The cycle consequently is small and light, and is made foldable so that it can be reduced to a very small package for convenience of being transported.
