A plurality of wheels are supported by the deck. An occupant support includes a post alternately and removably engageable with the mounting holes. A handlebar extends away from the deck along a handlebar axis and is rotatable about the handlebar axis between a forward operating position and a rearward operating position. The interchangeability of the occupant support in the mounting holes and the adjustment of the handlebar between the forward and rearward operating positions allows for the kit to be reconfigured to a variety of configurations. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A kit comprising: a deck having two mounting holes spaced along a longitudinal axis of the deck; a plurality of wheels supported by the deck; an occupant support including a post alternately and removably engageable with the mounting holes; and a handlebar extending away from the deck along a handlebar axis and being rotatable about the handlebar axis between a forward operating position and a rearward operating position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A kit as set forth in claim 1, wherein, in a first configuration, the occupant support is engaged with one of the mounting holes and the handlebar is in the forward operating position and, in a second configuration, the occupant support is engaged with the other of the mounting holes and the handlebar is in the rearward operating position. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A kit as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a second occupant support including a post removably engageable with at least one of the mounting holes. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) A kit as set forth in claim 3 wherein, in a first configuration, the occupant support is engaged with one of the mounting holes and the handlebar is in the forward operating position and, in a second configuration, the second occupant support is engaged with the other of the mounting holes and the handlebar is in the rearward operating position. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) A kit as set forth in claim 4 wherein a length of the handlebar is adjustable along the handlebar axis, and wherein the handlebar is elongated to an extended position in the first configuration and is retracted to a retracted position in the second configuration. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) A kit as set forth in claim 5 wherein the deck includes two sets of slots spaced from each other along the longitudinal axis, and further comprising two pegs alternately and removeably engageable with the two sets of slots, wherein the pegs are engaged with one of the sets of slots in the first configuration and are engaged with the other of the set of slots in the second configuration. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) A kit as set forth in claim 3 wherein the occupant support is one of a bench seat, a captain chair, a bike saddle, and a bassinet, and wherein the second occupant support is another of a bench seat, a captain chair, a bike saddle, and a bassinet. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) A kit as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a lock on the deck releasably engageable with the post. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A kit as set forth in claim 1 wherein a length of the handlebar is adjustable along the handlebar axis. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) A kit as set forth in claim 1 further comprising two pegs supported by the deck. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) A kit as set forth in claim 10 further comprising a plurality of slots spaced along the longitudinal axis, the slots being configured to removably support the pegs. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) A kit as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a motor supported by the deck. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) A kit as set forth in claim 12 further comprising a battery supported by the deck and in communication with the motor. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) A kit as set forth in claim 1 wherein the occupant support is an automobile seat. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) A kit as set forth in claim 14 further comprising an automobile including an interior configured to receive the automobile seat when disengaged with the deck.
