A folding tricycle wheel mounting arrangement 12 includes a mounting 14. The mounting 14 includes: a frame support 16, which in an assembled condition is attached to or comprises part of a frame 18 of a tricycle 10; a wheel axle support 20, which in the assembled condition supports a wheel axle 22; and a connection arrangement 24,26, which extends between the frame support 16 and the wheel axle support 20. The mounting 14 is movable between a folded condition (Figure 2) in which the wheel axle support 20 is relatively close to the frame support 16 and an unfolded condition in which the wheel axle support 20 is relatively further away from the frame support 16, thereby allowing the width of the tricycle to be reduced. In an embodiment a parallelogram-style mechanism allows the fold.
