Abstract
A mechanically propelled snowboard for recreational enjoyment includes a board and a propulsion assembly. A pair of bindings that is coupled to the upper face of the board is configured to couple to feet of a user. The propulsion assembly is coupled to a frame that is coupled to the board and extends from an upper face proximate to a tail section of the board. The propulsion assembly comprises an engine, a pair of wheels, one of which is operationally coupled to the engine, and an endless track that is operationally coupled to the pair of wheels. A lower limit of the endless track is substantially coplanar with a lower face of the board. The engine is positioned to rotate the endless track to propel the board along a surface. A controller is operationally coupled to the engine and is positioned to selectively throttle, brake, and shift the engine.
