A dual-mode tricycle 1 has a ride-on mode wherein the rider is able to steer the front wheel (2) of the tricycle using handlebars (8) and a stroller mode wherein a stroller handle (10) provided at the rear of the tricycle is used to steer the vehicle. A fork (20) supporting the front wheel (2) is moveable between a position wherein the axle of the front wheel (2) is vertically in line with the vertical axis of a front frame member (3a) in the ride-on mode and a trailing position wherein the axle of the front wheel (2) trails behind the vertical axis of the front frame member (3a) towards the rear wheels (4) in the stroller mode. The tricycle has a gear mechanism (30) to allow the vehicle to be collapsed easily and single-handedly into a highly compact state when not in use.
