<p>The invention concerns the creation of a vehicle for practising a new type of amusement on snow in standard downhill run, for strolling or pleasure trips. Said vehicle consists of a single base, a steering system which enables maintenance and control through a flap beneath the base and a braking system for slowing down or stopping the run. It consists in a single base, with a shape very much like that of snow boards, which is ridden standing or seated from a telescopic vertical shaft, said vertical shaft being also foldable on the base for easy storage. A handlebar or handgrip enables to steer the vehicle by means of a flap fixed beneath the base and integral with it. Said flap can be retractable. A braking system completes the vehicle, it consists of two articulated parts, an upper part, in the form of a pedal or a bicycle handlebar brake, pressed by the foot or hand-activated will thrust the part beneath the base into the snow and automatically stop or slow down the vehicle run. Accessories may be added such as a small seat for practising gliding on the vehicle in seated position, or footstraps. The vehicle is particularly intended for adults and children inexperienced in snow-related activities, and wish to practise quickly safe snow-gliding for fun.</p> |
