ABSTRACT:
Vehicles having wheels of different diameter sizes that are mounted with different eccentricities relative to each other. The twofold variability afforded by the wheel diameter and eccentricity disparities allows a vast array of possible two, three and four wheel vehicles, each having unique oscillatory patterns. A bicycle embodiment has differently-sized front and back wheels that are eccentrically mounted on their respective axle hubs by a differing offset amount with respect to each other. A tricycle embodiment has a front wheel with a different diameter than that of the back wheels, and the hub eccentricities of both wheels also differ with respect to each other. The hubs are arranged on an axle so as to be 180.degree. out of phase relative to each other. One possible four wheel embodiment has front wheels with a different diameter than that of the back wheels, and the hub eccentricity of the front wheels also differs from that of the back wheels. Both sets of hubs are arranged so as to be 180.degree. out of phase relative to each other.
