ABSTRACT:
A vehicle especially adapted for traveling on snow, which has a single endless track made bendable laterally in order to change direction of travel. The vehicle has a main body assembly which is separated and supported above the track by a special suspension arm. A motor is located in the body assembly, and a drive train is connected between the motor and track. The drive train extends through the suspension arm. The steering control system also passes through the suspension arm and causes the track to flex laterally into a curve in a manner which positions the rider over the flotation centerline of the curved track and thereby maintains balance while negotiating turns. One end of the suspension arm is sprung from the track, and the body is sprung from the other end of the suspension arm.
