ABSTRACT:
An amphibian vehicle which can travel both on land and on the water is disclosed wherein a front wheel which can be controlled in direction by operation of a handle, is provided at a front portion of a body having float members therearound while a drive shaft adapted to be rotated by driving means is disposed at a rear portion of the body and in a direction perpendicular to a direction of movement of the body, and that a wheel is supported for rotation on the drive shaft such that, during running on land of the amphibian vehicle, it may be directed perpendicularly to the drive shaft, and during running on the water, it may be directed obliquely to the drive shaft. Thus, during running of the amphibian vehicle on land, the wheel is directed perpendicularly to the drive shaft so that it may act as a driving rear wheel, and during running on the water, the body is allowed to float on the water by the float members while the wheel is directed obliquely to the drive shaft so as to produce a propelling force for running on the water.
