• a space disposed between said main frames being defined substantially equal in dimension to lateral width of said seat;
• each of said main frames having an angled forward section, said angled forward section being defined as a section of each main frame extending from said front end thereof to a point corresponding to said middle portion thereof where said seat is supported, said main frame having a bend located vertically beneath said seat at said point corresponding to the middle portion;
• each of said angled forward sections being positioned at said front end thereof above a front wheel axle such that said front wheel axle supports said angled forward section;
• and
• each of said main frames having a rearward section, said rearward section being defined as a section of each main frame extending from said point corresponding to said middle portion thereof to said rear end thereof, said rearward section of said main frames extending substantially horizontally to carry said power unit thereon, the pair of said rear wheels being suspended at each lateral side of and in the vicinity of said power unit;
