Modular riding vehicle

A riding vehicle that is convertible between a first and a second configuration, the riding vehicle comprising:

• a front assembly comprising:
• an elongate frame;
• a head assembly associated with a front wheel at a lower end thereof and comprising a handlebar for steering the front wheel;
• and
• a seat mounted relative to the elongate frame;
• and
• a rear module having a rear wheel rotatable on a wheel axle, the rear module being removably secured to the elongate frame and being constituted by one of the following modules which are interchangeably securable to the front assembly to convert the riding vehicle between the first and second configurations:
• a first rear module comprising a first rear wheel having a first radius and rotatable on a first wheel axle, and two laterally spaced apart first connectors at respective sides of the first wheel axle, each first connector having a first rear portion via which the first connectors are mounted to a respective side of the wheel axle, and a first front portion via which the first connectors are secured to the elongate frame;
• or
• a second rear module comprising a second rear wheel having a second radius and rotatable on a second wheel axle, the second radius being smaller than the first radius, and two laterally spaced apart second connectors at respective sides of the second wheel axis, each second connector having a second rear portion via which the second connectors are mounted to a respective side of the wheel axle, and a second front portion via which the second connectors are secured to the elongate frame.

A riding vehicle that is convertible between a balance bicycle configuration and a pedal bicycle configuration, the riding vehicle comprising:

• a front assembly comprising:
• an elongate frame associated with a mount;
• a head assembly associated with a front wheel at a lower end thereof and comprising a handlebar for steering the front wheel;
• and
• a seat mounted relative to the elongate frame;
• and
• a rear module having a rear wheel rotatable on a wheel axle, the rear module being removably secured to the front assembly and constituted by one of the following:
• a first rear module operable in the pedal bicycle configuration and having a first rear wheel rotatable on a first wheel axle, a chain drive disposed at a first side of the first rear wheel and two pedals for driving the first rear wheel via the chain drive;
• or
• a second rear module operable in the balance bicycle configuration and having a second rear wheel rotatable on a second wheel axle,
• the first and second rear modules being interchangeably securable to the elongate frame to convert the riding vehicle between the pedal and balance bicycle configurations, respectively, wherein
• the first rear module at least partially encases said mount in the pedal bicycle configuration;
• and
• in the balance bicycle configuration, the vehicle comprises at least one component which at least partially encases the mount, said at least one component being forward of the second rear module.
