ABSTRACT:
A swing propelled vehicle, having a frame set on wheels, a swing device, a steerable axle, and a braking wedge to prevent the wheels from turning in more than one direction. The vehicle is propelled by the momentum generated by the swinging motion, and the braking wedge prevents back-and-forth oscillation of the vehicle, affording forward progress. The direction of travel can be reversed by switching the braking wedge from the front of the wheel to the back and vice versa. The occupant can steer the vehicle by means of a handle that attaches to cables on a pivotally mounted axle.
