Radio controlled two-wheeled toy motorcycle

Abstract

The motorcycle comprises a chassis which rotatively supports a rear wheel and to which a front wheel is caster mounted. A radio controlled motor is mounted in the chassis and drives the rear wheel by means of a belt drive. The chassis has a forward fairing portion which supports a shaft, the axis of which forms a forwardly directed angle with respect to the horizontal of from about 90.degree. to about 130.degree.. Pivotally mounted on the shaft and extending rearwardly therefrom is a swing support to which is mounted a battery pack, a radio and electronics package, a radio controlled servo and the head, arms, torso and upper leg portions of a simulated rider. The servo has a shaft operatively connected to the chassis so that it can shift the swing support to the left or right from a centered position to cause the motorcycle to turn left or right in response thereto. Lower leg assemblies for the simulated rider are provided on either side of the chassis. The lower leg assemblies are pivoted at their boot ends to foot rests extending laterally from either side of the chassis. The lower leg assemblies near their knee ends have laterally extending webs pivotally attached to the swing support. as a result, when the swing support shifts left or right to imitate a turn of the motorcycle, the knee portion of the appropriate one of the lower leg assemblies swings outwardly in the direction of the turn.
