A riding capsule device comprises a capsule member and a base member. The capsule member includes a generally egg-shaped body having a convex exterior shape with a bottom configuration in the form of a convex spherical segment. The base member includes a flat bottom surface and a top configuration in the form of a concave spherical segment. The bottom convex spherical segment of the capsule member engages the top concave spherical segment of the base member, whereby the capsule member is tiltable and rotatable with respect to the base member while the base member confines the capsule to a limited horizontal location. In first and second embodiments, the radius of curvature of the convex spherical segment is the same as that of the concave engaging spherical segment while in a third embodiment, the radius of curvature of the concave spherical segment is greater than that of the convex spherical segment. The device is provided with braking means for stopping the tilting and turning action of the capsule member, whenever desired, by either a capsule member occupant or someone outside the device.
