Run underworld god around in passenger vehicle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sidecar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'passenger vehicle' is the definition.
'sidecar' can be an answer for 'vehicle' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'passenger' bit.

'run underworld god around' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'race' (synonyms).
'underworld god' becomes 'dis' (I've seen this in another clue).
'around' is a reversal indicator.
'race'+'dis'='racedis'
'racedis' written backwards gives 'SIDECAR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sidecar that I've seen before include "that's suitable for a non-driver" , "Attachment to motorcycle to accommodate passenger" , "Attachment to motor cycle" , "Part of combination" , "Passenger carrier attached to a motorcycle" .)
