A low profile bob sled has tandem runners, a front one being steerable and the rear one being rigid. A support framework carries a belly board. The front runner is pivotally coupled to a steering column for floating over a snow surface and can be laterally turned with the steering column. A steering bar extends through the steering column and is aligned fully beneath the plane of the belly board.
A skiing vehicle includes a seat having two rear ski boards secured to the rear and bottom portion and having a beam pivotally coupled to the front portion. The beam includes a front ski board secured to the front portion and includes a pair of foot pedals secured to the front portion for rotating the beam. The rear ski boards are moved forward when the beam and the front ski board are rotated by the foot pedals. The beam may include a rod extended in a curved slot of the seat so as to limit a rotational movement of the beam.
A snow vehicle having a rider supporting generally elongate platform with a flexible strap member positioned along the longitudinal center line thereof for releasably receiving the feet of the rider. First and second truck members are secured to the under surface of the rider supporting member with first and second generally broadly dimensioned ski members secured to the first and second truck members, the truck members being configured for pivoting the ski members in response to shifting of the weight of the rider on the vehicle.
A gravity driven steerable wheeled vehicle for recreational use, most particularly on surfaces such as pavement, artificial hard-pack turf, mountain slopes, dirt roads, grass and hard-packed snow. The vehicle has at least three (3) but preferably four (4) wheels which may or may not be on independent axles one from the other and which may or may not be each independently shock suspended. There is also a steering mechanism for steering the vehicle and a driver compartment portion for containing a driver of the vehicle in a prone face-down and face-forward position. The vehicle is steerable by the driver from the prone face-down and face-forward position. The vehicle may further have braking system for slowing or stopping the vehicle and a harness apparatus for harnessing the driver onto and into the vehicle.
A steerable personal vehicle is providing for use on snow, land and water. The steerable personal vehicle has a steering assembly and a frame. The steering assembly and the frame are connected by a joint about which either may be rotated relative to the other. The frame includes a rider support on which a rider may be mounted in a generally prone position. The steering assembly provides for rotation about three main axes, so as to provide stability and handling. The vehicle is mounted on a plurality of runners that may be attached thereto by front and rear suspensions. The runners may be formed as snow skis, water skis or wheel-mounting tracks.
A snow skiing device on which a skier may sit and/or stand. The device includes a frame having a front end and a rear end. A ski system which, in one embodiment, includes a steerable front ski attached to the front end and a rear ski attached to the rear end of the frame. The skis can be in linear alignment with one another. The device further includes a platform extending from the front end to the back end of the frame and is positioned above the skis. The platform, in one embodiment, is parallel to the skis.
