ABSTRACT:
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a vehicle with a training device for use on a skateboard. The training device includes an assembly disposed about one of a plurality of axles of the skateboard. The assembly has a transfer gear horizontally moveably to a first position to engage a flywheel wheel to provide resistance to the skateboard and to charge the flywheel when a wheel corresponding to one of the plurality of axles spins, such that when the flywheel is charged the flywheel provides inertia to the wheel. The training device may also be designed to be entirely incorporated with a single wheel for use with in-line skate or scooters. In either embodiments the training device includes the ability to have more resistance when the wheels first begin to rotate (as the user first begins to ride the vehicle), a continual reduction in resistance as the wheels begin to rotate faster, and a build up of inertia during use such that when the user pauses, the inertia continues to rotate the wheels.
