Foldable Vehicle

A foldable vehicle (100) comprising

• a steering rod (210) having a centerline (250),
• a front wheel (800) connected to the steering rod (210), said front wheel having a rotational axis (850),
• a support frame (300) having an upper carrier surface (310) and a centerline (350) along said carrier surface,
• a rear wheel (900) connected to the support frame (300) and having a rotational axis (950),
• wherein the vehicle (100) is configured to have an unfolded state and a folded state, wherein in the unfolded state, the first and second centerlines (250, 350) are located in one plane and form a predetermined angle (δ), whereas in the folded state, the first and second centerlines (250, 350) are parallel to each other or form an angle of at most 30°,
• characterized in that
• a first hinged member (400) is rotatably connected to the steering rod (210), said steering rod forming an angle (α) with the centerline (250) of the steering rod, wherein a hinge at one end of the first hinged member (400) has a first rotational axis (450),
• a second hinged member (500) is connected to the support frame (300), said support frame forming an angle (β) with the centerline (350) of the support frame, wherein a hinge at one end of the second hinged member (500) has a second rotational axis (550),
• the first and second hinged members (400, 500) are interconnected by a connecting member (600) configured to rotate about the first rotational axis (450) relative to the first hinged member (400), and about the second rotational axis (550) relative to the second hinged member (500), and
• wherein the angle (α) formed by the centerline (250) of the steering rod (210) and the rotational axis (450) of the first hinged member (400), the angle (β) formed by the centerline (350) of the support frame (300) and the centerline (550) of the second hinged member (500), and angle (y) formed by the second rotational axis (550) and the plane of the carrier surface (310) of the support frame (300) in front view are determined so that in the folded state of the vehicle (100),
• the steering rod (210) and the support frame (300) are located next to each other in such a way that their centerlines (250, 350) are substantially parallel to each other, and
• the front and rear wheels (800, 900) are located next to each other so that their rotational axes (850, 950) are substantially parallel to each other, and
• wherein the vehicle (100) further comprises a locking mechanism (700) for preventing the first hinged member (400) and the connecting member (600) from rotating relative to each other, and the second hinged member (500) and the connecting member (600) from rotating relative to each other, both in the unfolded state and the folded state of the vehicle (100).
