To solve an issue that people, such as elderly people, who are not able to ride bicycles, cannot use conventional self-propelled carts because the conventional self-propelled carts adopt driving mechanisms which are driven by pedaling of users.SOLUTION: A pedal driven auxiliary vehicle 10 of the invention includes, mainly, a vehicle body frame 11, rear wheels 12 disposed at the rear end side of the vehicle body frame 11, a front wheel 13 disposed at a substantially center part of the vehicle body frame 11, a connection mechanism 14 disposed at the tip side of the vehicle body frame 11, a connection mechanism 15 rotatably connecting the vehicle body frames 11, and a saddle 16 for allowing a user to be seated. The structure allows a user to pedal with both own legs while being seated on the saddle 16 to travel or stop the pedal driven auxiliary vehicle 10. As a result, the user feels less tired even during a long time shopping and can enjoy shopping safely.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】従来の自走式カートは、利用者がペダルを漕ぐことで駆動する駆動機構のため、高齢者等の自転車に乗れない方では、使用することが出来ないという課題がある。【解決手段】本発明の足漕ぎ式補助車10は、主に、車体フレーム11と、車体フレーム11の後端側に配設される後輪12と、車体フレーム11の略中央部に配設される前輪13と、車体フレーム11の先端側に配設される接続機構14と、車体フレーム11を回転自在に連結させる連結機構15と、利用者が腰掛けるためのサドル16と、を備える。この構造により、利用者はサドル16に腰掛けた状態にて、自身の両足にて足漕ぎを行うことで、足漕ぎ式補助車10を走行させ、あるいは停止させることができる。その結果、利用者は、長時間の買い物でも疲れ難くなると共に、安全に楽しく買い物を行うことができる。【選択図】図1
