Abstract
A suspension assembly adapted to be fitted to a manually drawn two wheeled golf buggy includes a chassis mount typically arranged to be mounted into the existing axle tube of a conventional golf buggy by way of a spigot, a scissor link in the form of a chassis mount arm extending from the chassis mount and a wheel mount arm pivotally connected together by hinge arrangement, and a wheel mount sleeve adapted to receive the stub axle of a golf buggy wheel. A compression spring is provided between the chassis mount and the wheel mount allowing for damp resilient movement between the wheel of the golf buggy and the chassis. Variations are also described where the suspension assembly is provided as an integral part of the golf buggy chassis.
