Abstract
A running body which can run at least forward or rearward includes a power source; a vehicle body including three vehicle body structural elements which are foldably connected to one another in series through axles, and a gear mechanism for driving wheels by the power source. The wheels are attached to the axles and other axles disposed on fore and rear portions of the vehicle body. At least one of the wheels is driven at a speed different from the others. A motor may be used as the power source and remote control for controlling the rotation of the motor may be also used, in order to give a variations of the figure of the running body.

A running body which can run at least in a forward direction, comprising:
- an electric power source;
- a motor member operated by the electric power source;
- a vehicle body comprising three vehicle body structural elements foldably connected to one another in series through first and second axles;
- a plurality of wheels coupled to at least the first and second axles;
- a gear mechanism coupled between the motor member and the plurality of wheels the gear mechanism driving the wheels by a power of the motor member,
- wherein the gear mechanism includes a planetary gear mechanism coupled with the motor member for allowing the vehicle body structural elements to fold, and wherein ground speeds of first, second and third ones of the wheels are different from each other such that the ground speeds from one end of the vehicle body are reduced in the order of the first one, the second one and the third one.
