ABSTRACT:
A skating velocipede apparatus to facilitate skating propulsion of a skater along a smooth, hard underlying ground surface while in a seated position taking the form of a longitudinal support member having wheels at the rear, a handle at the front end, a seat at an intermediate location, and a thigh-receiving abutment positioned shortly forwardly of the seat whereby to make it possible for a skater having skates fastened to each of his shoes to sit down on the intermediately positioned seat and move his thighs forwardly until they forcibly strike the thigh-receiving abutment while he places his hands on the front-positioned handle and leans back so that the rear positioned wheels will be forced downwardly into rolling contact with the underlying hard ground surfaces. It will be understood that the skater will be appropriately supported on the seat and yet will be in a position such that he may use each leg independently in a conventional skating action, which will propel him forwardly on the hard underlying ground surface while remaining seated on the seat. The extreme rear end of the longitudinal support member is also provided with removeably interchangeable frictional brakes which makes it possible to readily apply the brakes by merely pulling up on the front-positioned handle, thus forcing a removeable frictional braking element downwardly into frictional contact with the hard underlying ground surface.
