Abstract

A gravity driven lean to steer wheeled vehicle (fig 1) for recreational riding and racing, most commonly used on hard packed sloped surfaces.
The vehicle (fig 1) comprises of an extruded aluminum chassis (01) mounted on two custom axle assemblies (02) with polyurethane wheels (08) one being positioned at the rear of the chassis (01) and one being positioned in between the seat (15) and the front of the chassis (01). A molded padded seat (15) with raised handgrips (19) is mounted on top of the chassis (01). The seat may, or may not be adjustable, given a choice of forward for shorter riders, or back for taller riders. The chassis may, or may not be telescopic to accommodate shorter or taller riders. A molded leg rest (10) is bolted to the front of the chassis (01) to support and cradle the rider's legs. A back plate (21) with an integral braking system, and spring return (22) is positioned behind the seat.
The vehicle has polyurethane front (11) and rear (17) bumpers.
The vehicle (fig 1) is operated by sitting on the seat (15) with your legs over the leg rest (10). You push off with your hands, and steer by leaning your body to the left for left turns, and to the right for right turns. Braking is done by leaning back on the back plate with integral brake plate. Braking can also be assisted by placing the heals of your shoes on the ground.
