Abstract
A vehicle including a frame, a seat attached to the frame front section for supporting the driver in a sitting position, a protective shell attached to the frame front section for substantially enclosing the driver and a pair of skis for gliding on a supporting surface. The skis are pivotally attached to the frame front section substantially laterally on each side of the cabin. The skis are coupled to a steering wheel located in the cabin by a steering assembly for allowing the driver to steer the vehicle by pivoting the skis relative to the frame. The vehicle also includes a propelling assembly having an endless track operatively mounted to the frame rear section rearwardly relative to the seat for contacting the supporting surface and propelling the vehicle. A motor is mounted on the frame rear section in a substantially overlying and proximal relationship relative to the endless track. The motor is operatively coupled to the endless track for driving the latter. The seat and the motor are in a substantially proximal relationship relative to the supporting surface when the skis and the endless track contact the supporting surface.
