ABSTRACT:
A manually propelled vehicle having a main frame supported on front and rear ground engageable wheels, a support body on the frame for supporting an occupant, control means operable by the occupant and comprising an oscillating drive member mounted to pivot about an axis transverse of the vehicle, a connecting rod interconnecting the drive member to a crank mechanism formed in a support axle for the rear wheels. A handle is pivotally connected to the drive member, with a pair of bowden cables interconnecting the handle with steering linkage systems cooperating with the axles of the front wheels. The bowden cables pass through the pivot axis of the drive member. The arrangement being such that oscillation of the drive member will cause the rear wheels to be driven by the connecting rod and crank mechanism, while pivoting movement of the handle due to downward pressure applied to one side or other of the handle will facilitate steering of the front wheels via the bowden cables and steering linkage systems.
