Abstract

A human powered land vehicle 1 has two steered front wheels and one rear wheel driven by a drive train. The drive train incorporates a human powered actuator 13 to be actuated for propulsion of the vehicle by a person driving the vehicle 1 and is cinematically coupled to a driven wheel 2 for propulsing the vehicle 1 in at least one driving direction. The vehicle 1 further disposes of a non-human powered actuator 16 arranged to drive at least one of the wheels of the vehicle. The drive train between the human powered actuator 13 and the driven wheel 2 comprises at least two drive train segments 14, 14.1, whereas between two drive train segments 14, 14.1 the driving power is transferred from a first driving means 21 of a first drive train segment 14 to a second driving means 17 of a second drive train segment 14.1. The non-human powered actuator 16 is incorporated in-line into this drive train, such that the rotating member 15 of the non-human powered actuator 16 is driven by way of a first driving means 21 of a first drive train segment 14 driven by the human powered actuator 13 and that the rotational movement of the rotating member 15 of the non-human powered actuator 16 drives a second drive train segment 14.1 driving the driven wheel 2.
