A vehicle for a person to ride on a ground surface includes a frame that has a front end and a rear end. The frame supports a seat on a top side of the frame and a steering mechanism proximate the front end of the frame for allowing the person to steer a front wheel. A frame extension has a front end pivotally fixed proximate the rear end of the frame and includes two rear wheels projecting laterally away therefrom. At least one of the rear wheels is coupled with a motor through a transmission to drive the vehicle. In use, the frame extension and rear wheels are pivoted forward to place the vehicle in a collapsed configuration for storage. To use the vehicle, the frame extension is pivoted backward to place the vehicle in an operating configuration. Preferably the motor and transmission are disposed between the two rear wheels.
