| Abstract: |
A portable, steerable motorised platform (21) upon which a user may stand whilst the platform is in motion. The motorised platform is especially suitable to facilitate greater pedestrian movement in high-density urban areas. The motorised platform comprises a footplate (23) with motor-driven wheels (25) and steerable dirigible wheels (24). The means to steer the dirigible wheels may be of the bicycle type with a handlebar (31) which carries control means such as a twist-grip throttle, and which folds down onto the platform when not in use. A rechargeable battery (32) provides up to three hours working time before it needs to be recharged. The dimensions and weight of the motorised platform are such that it can be carried around like a port or valice.

+ STEERABLE MOTORISED PLATFORM
+ TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to what may aptly be termed steerable motorised platforms and more particularly to such a vehicle which is light enough to be picked up and carried in one hand, yet sturdy enough to transport a person standing upon it.
+ BACKGROUND ART
Light motorised vehicles for the carrying of one or perhaps two persons, but not classifiable as motorcycles or motorscooters, are known. Notable among this kind of motorised vehicles are golf buggies, as disclosed for example in United States Patent No. 2,973,048, and industrial personnel- carrying vehicles such as those described and claimed in the specifications relating to United States Patent No. 3,099,326 and Australian Patent Applications Nos. 7,365/66 and 49,997/69 (425,334).
+ DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention, therefore, a portable st.66rable motorised platform comprises a substantially flat p4a.tturm portion; at least one dirigible wheel and a pair of (Triven wheels, said platform portion being adapted to stand upon said wheels; motor means to drive said driven wheels; rechargeable battery means to power the motor means; and means to steer said at least one dirigible wheel; the platform portion being provided with footplate means upon which a user is able to stand while operating the portable steerable motorised platform.
