Abstract

A motorized wheeled vehicle caddy for pushing or pulling one or more wheeled vehicles can be used to move and/or maneuver the vehicle(s) to different locations and positions. The vehicle caddy includes a hitch mechanism to attach the vehicle to the caddy, a suspension mechanism to align the caddy and vehicle when connecting the two, a steering mechanism to guide the movement of the caddy and attached vehicle, and a power drive mechanism to move the caddy and attached vehicle. Being compact in size and lightweight, the motorized wheeled vehicle caddy is also convenient for use in areas with limited space.
