Zusammenfassung:Steering apparatus for a recumbent cycle (10), having a forward and rearward end with ground engaging wheels (17) at least one of which defines a direction control wheel, a chassis (12) including an elongated main frame member (13) having a longitudinal axis extending in a direction between the forward and rearward ends, the steering apparatus (16) for the direction control wheel including a mounting arm (96) which includes a first arm section connected to the main frame member (13) and extending laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis thereof, and a second arm section secured to or integral with the first arm section and having a wheel mounting end portion, a wheel mounting assembly connected to the wheel mounting end portion of the second arm section, including a wheel mounting for pivotal movement about a pivot axis disposed generally on the longitudinal axis of the main frame member (13) and steering drive means including a linear actuator assembly connected to the wheel mounting so that actuation thereof causes pivotal movement of the wheel mounting about the pivot axis.
