Multipurpose riding apparatus

A multipurpose riding apparatus comprising:

• a chair body;
• a seat associated with the chair body, wherein the seat is configured to hold a sitting user;
• a chair base pivotally attached to the chair body;
• a pair of front wheels rotationally attached to a front end of the multipurpose riding apparatus;
• a back wheel rotationally attached to the chair base, wherein the back wheel is pivotally attached to the chair base, such that the back wheel is configured to rotate about the back wheel rotational axis and pivot orthogonally to the back wheel rotational axis to facilitate directional turning of the multipurpose riding apparatus during travel;
• and
• a brake attached to the chair body and associated with the back wheel, wherein the brake is configured to selectively prevent rotation of the back wheel about a back wheel rotational axis;
• wherein the multipurpose riding apparatus is configured to be selectively locked into a deployed orientation and the chair base is configured to be stood upon by a standing user to allow the standing user to travel on the multipurpose riding apparatus.
