ABSTRACT:
An engine powered cycle is converted for use on water by attaching an elongated float to a steering wheel support and by replacing the driving wheels with a pair of paddle floats. Another float positioned between and aft of the paddle floats may be employed to increase buoyancy. The paddle floats mount on the ends of the drive shaft of the cycle and extend transversely outwardly thereof distances substantially in excess of the width of the wheels they replace to increase the buoyancy and stability of the cycle.
