Abstract

A foot propelled vehicle comprises a front housing (1) in which a front main hollow sphere (7) is mounted by means of bearings (8) for rotation about three orthogonal axes, and a rear housing (2) in which a rear main hollow sphere (9) is mounted by means of bearings (8') for rotation about three orthogonal axes. The vehicle includes a seat portion (4) for a user; and a handle (5, 6) mounted on the front housing for the user to hold whilst riding the vehicle. On each side of the vehicle, between the front and rear housings, is a stabiliser (10, 13) comprising a housing (11) in which is mounted a stabiliser sphere (12) by means of bearings (8") for rotation about three orthogonal axes. One main hollow sphere (9) may be used to contain components of the vehicle (10, 13) for storage or transportation, and that sphere may be fitted inside the other main hollow sphere. One housing (2) may be used to contain components of the vehicle (3, 4, 5, 6) for storage or transportation, and that housing may be fitted inside the other housing (1).
