Abstract:
An apparatus comprising:a frame supporting spaced apart first and second rotatable wheels which are peripherally rollaby supported on a ground surface, the first whee being steerable about an instantaneous axis which is inclined forward relative to a vertical axis and intersects the ground surface ahead of a contact point of the first wheel with the ground surface; a first pivot lever and a second pivot lever, said first and second pivot levers having a leading pivot at a first end and a trailing pivot at a second opposing end, the two leading pivots are pivotally connected to the skate frame and the trailing pivots are pivotally connected to one of a wheel axle and a spindle via a bracket; and wherein a rotation of the steerable first wheel about the instantaneous axis is produced by a relative repositioning of the two pivot levers as dictated by the frame.
