Abstract
A sulky characterized by a single supporting wheel positioned behind, or partly beneath, the frame of the sulky, and where the driver's seat is positioned behind the single supporting wheel for added weight concentration and better driving control. The frame has a generally U-shaped plan configuration, unlike the present bow shape, and is typically made from a light weight metal which decreases in vertical dimension in a direction towards the head of the pulling horse.
