Abstract
A drive assembly associated with a front wheel of a wheeled conveyance having a crosswise extending and linear shaped handle. A pair of sliding handle gripping portions are attached to extending ends of the handle, the gripping portions being linearly translated in first and second directions to continuously drive a closed loop belt extending within the handle. A drive shaft is operably engaged at a first end to the continuously driven closed loop belt. An extending end of the drive shaft operably engages the front wheel of the conveyance, such that actuation of the gripping portions is translated to forward rotating motion of the wheel.
