ABSTRACT:
A motorized trackboard has a rear-mounted engine (4) which transmits rotary motion centrally to a rear-driven track (2) at each side of a trackboard platform (1). Different types of track, different types of gear means, different sizes and different human-factor accommodations are employed for different use-conditions. For some use-conditions, a rear track-drive wheel (3) is large and sturdy to support all weight on the trackboard for positioning weight on the rear to raise the front end for turning. A front track-support wheel (7) can be positioned higher than the axis of the rear drive wheel to provide a climbing incline (15). The front track-support wheel can be spring-tensioned in a forward direction to prevent track slack. It is an all-terrain vehicle that can be made small and light enough for child use or large enough for a seat for heavy use. A steering-track embodiment can be used for such applications as hunting, snow travel, beach travel, mountain travel, tending livestock, military travel, shopping and commuting. A dual embodiment has separate front and back sections joined pivotally for steering.
