Claims10
A vehicle apparatus comprising:
- a frame including a head tube;
- a front fork attachment comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the front fork attachment comprising a radial channel proximate to the proximal end;
- a pair of wheels coupled to the front fork attachment at or proximate to the distal end;
- and
- an attachment assembly coupled to the head tube and configured for removable coupling to the proximal end of the front fork attachment, the attachment assembly including;
- an inner receiver coupled to the head tube;
- and
- a locking-pin mechanism configured for actuation between a first position and a second position, wherein when the locking-pin mechanism is in the first position the locking-pin mechanism engages the radial channel through the inner receiver thereby securing the front fork attachment assembly to the ad tube front fork attachment, and wherein when the locking-pin mechanism is in the second position the locking-pin mechanism disengages the radial channel thereby releasing the front fork attachment from the front fork attachment assembly.
