(54)Two-wheeled vehicle with adjustable shell, accessible through side-doors


(57) The invention herein described is fitted to a two wheeled vehicle commonly known as a "scooter", characterized by being equipped by two small diameter wheels, plastic body work and a tube chassis designed so as to allow the driver to adopt a position similar to that adopted when driving a car. Hence more confortable than an ordinary motorcycle. Nonetheless unlike ordinary scooters this two-wheeled vehicle is equipped with wrap-around structure which forms a true shell for the driver and possible passenger. The shell is fully adjustable to provide the user with variable degrees of protection according to his requirements.
The structure forms a true shell around the seats which are accessible through side doors on both sides. Both side doors have large openings on the lower section which enable the driver to extend his legs to the road surface, when the vehicle comes to a stop as on an ordinary scooter.
In particular, whilst the doors are removable and maybe laid away, the canopy can either be removed or folded out of sight into the luggage compartment (like a convertible) without having to be disassembled, thus being always ready should the driver wish to re-cover the scooter.
The present invention intends to overcome the disadvantages of an ordinary scooter providing the driver and possible passenger of the motorcycle with the maximum protection possible from bad weather and pollution.
