A vehicle, especially an amusement vehicle, in which a frame having a seat adapted for seating two occupants is located within the radial confines of a pair of relatively large coaxial spaced wheels. The frame includes rollers mounted thereon and distributed circumferentially about the inwardly facing annular surfaces of the larger wheels and engaging the same so as to rotatably support the frame within the wheels. A pair of relatively large chains are mounted circumferentially on the respective wheels within the radial confines thereof concentrically with the common axis of the wheels and are driven by crank driven sprockets carried by the frame to thereby propel the vehicle. The center of gravity of the frame, including any occupant therein, is below the common axis of the wheels so that when the sprockets are driven, the frame will first move within the wheels to create an unbalanced condition in the vehicle and the wheels will then commence rotation thereby causing the vehicle to move. The wheels can be driven at respective speeds in order to steer the vehicle.
