The front end wheel assembly comprises an electrically powered front wheel hub motor that provides power to move forward and backward. An electric control box mounted flush to the steering fork assembly with means of electrically connecting hub motor, battery, and controls. An upper sub-part comprises a telescopic handlebar to control direction of the front wheel, controls comprising a brake lever, throttle, and forward/reverse switch to control speed, and an ignition headlight assembly with removable keys.

Continuing further down the front support frame comprises a kick out support wheel which drops down and touches the ground when moving to folded position allowing for the rear chassis to form a tri pod stance between the two rear wheels and the kick out wheel. Conversely, when moving into unfolded position, said support wheel tucks back under rear chassis. A second part, a rear chassis assembly comprising a flat platform surface mounted on a rectangular metal frame. Said metal frame comprises a mounting bracket for a removable seat post and a rear axle connected to the frame in which respective left and right rear wheels are mounted. Rear chassis further comprises a metal housing recessed under said flat platform which comprises a removable battery pack and electrical means for charging and providing power to the front frame assembly electrical systems. The front end of the rear chassis frame comprises respective pivot points to mate with front frame assembly comprising a centered “U” shaped notch in the frame to allow the fastening or releasing mechanism to set into place securely connecting front chassis to rear chassis into upright and ready to drive position or releasing from ready to drive position and folding for stowing.
