NOVELTY - The cycle includes a chain that is engaged on the sprockets to provide a manual power system to the rear wheels (108) with the use of a multiple geared transmission drive system. Each rear wheel has a non-friction rotary drive unit connected to a power coupling mechanism which is capable of transmitting power independently to either rear wheel. The rotary drive unit is also connected to the rotary drive output of the motor drive unit (116) as well as to the pedals, chain and manual power system.    USE - Recumbent three or four wheeled cycle for use in recreational and utility purposes.    ADVANTAGE - The cycle permits maximum flexibility to the user to choose either zero emissions electric motor power or manual locomotion in a wide variety of terrain. The cycle utilizes extra-wide tires and when combine with its overall lightweight design minimizes its impact on grass and similar turf. The cycle permits the use of multiple gears and a rear axle derailleur mechanism to facilitate manual pedal locomotion on a wide variety of terrain to maximize the potential for physical exercise over a wide variety of terrain. The ability to avoid damaging grass and turf is enhanced since it provides a rear axle limited slip differential available on demand to the operator for either electrical or manual modes of locomotion. Manufacturing related transportation costs is reduced while facilitating modifications and improvements without resort to complete redesign of the vehicle with the use of modular front and rear frame as well as rear axle and canopy modules. The front and rear disk brakes activated by handgrips on the steering handle bars provide enhanced braking capability over friction braking. A rear towing hitch facilitates for the attachment of a wide variety of vehicles for towing and transport of personnel and materials. A rear wheel spacing of 40 inches or more maximizes the safety from accidental tip-over. A highly visible canopy protects the operator and enhances its operational safety. A four wheeled design employing hand activated disk brakes on each wheel allow more stability with a slightly higher overall vehicle weight.
