Abstract
A recreational vehicle has a seat for a rider, mounted on a frame, steering apparatus, and a drive train for supplying driving power to a drive wheel incorporating a pair of reciprocating pedals connected to the drive wheel through one way clutches. The pedals are connected to the clutches by cables which operate to return each pedal as the other receives power from the rider. The vehicle has three sets of wheels, and two handles which are effective for steering all three sets of wheels (or other supports, such as skates) independently. The vehicle is braked by steering two sets of wheels in opposite directions.
