Abstract
The wheeled riding device employs a frame system mounted to the bottom of the deck, independent suspension links pivotally connect to the wheel assemblies enabling four wheel independent suspensions. A centrally mounted steering and suspension pivot, provides both steering control and suspension attachment for the shock and spring. The device is controlled by the rider using body movement, and a hand held remote when electrically driven. Whether manually or electrically propelled the invention brings improvements in both steering and ride stability while riding over adverse terrain.
