Mobility vehicle

A mobility vehicle to move over a ground surface in a direction of travel comprising:

• a front deck comprising at least one front ground engaging member;
• a rear deck comprising:
• at least one rear ground engaging member;
• and
• an operator platform;
• one or more motors operably coupled to one or more of the at least one front ground engaging member and the at least one rear ground engaging member to provide powered movement using one or more of the at least one front ground engaging member and the at least one rear ground engaging member;
• a joint operatively connecting the front deck and the rear deck, wherein the front deck is pivotally coupled to the rear deck about a pivot axis that is orthogonal to both the direction of travel and the ground surface, wherein the front deck is rollably coupled to the rear deck about a roll axis that is substantially parallel to the ground surface;
• at least one damper operatively connected to the front deck and the rear deck to reduce a rate of pivotal movement between the front deck and the rear deck about the pivot axis;
• and
• a steerable member operatively connected to the front deck and configured to pivot the front deck relative to the rear deck by an operator on the operator platform to steer the vehicle.
