    Abstract: A trike includes a bottom and a back being moveable to a deployed position for supporting a driver and a stowed position for use as a seat assembly in a vehicle. A motor connects the back and the bottom for reclining the back relative to the bottom. Two wheels support the bottom. A drive system is coupled to at least one wheel. The motor is selectively connected to the drive system for propelling the trike. As such, the motor serves the dual purpose of reclining the back relative to the bottom and propelling the trike.
