ABSTRACT:
An improved ski device which incorporates a power unit for providing forward thrust and which is capable of operation over water, snow, ice, artificial surfaces, or the like. In one embodiment, the unit utilizes an upright chassis which is articulated to a single runner and has a seat with handles that preferably include control and brake means. The power unit may be mounted in the chassis or rearwardly of the seat on a framework. The framework may be made adjustable so as to permit the angle of thrust imparted by the power unit to be varied. In an alternative embodiment, steering means may be provided in the form of a separate, steering ski pivotally mounted to a steering column and handle bar assembly which extends from the forward portion of the chassis. Outrigger pontoons or skis may be provided as the intended use dictates.
