A configurable cycle vehicle 10 has an adjustable frame 12 which is formed from at least a supporting frame member 26 and a cross bar 28 which are adjustably repositionable to one another to provide first and second riding positions, the second position (figure 2) being recumbent relevant to the first (figure 1). The cycle vehicle may be pedal powered and/or powered by an electric motor. The cycle vehicle 10 may further comprise a drive shaft (68 figure 7) which couples the pedals 22 to the wheels 20, the drive shaft being engageable in the first position and disengagable in the second. There may also be regenerative energy generation means to charge a battery as the pedals 22 are rotated. The cycle vehicle 10 may be a tricycle or a bicycle. A method of conversion of a cycle vehicle between first and second riding conditions is also provided.
