The amphibious vehicle has a main frame on the forward end of which is mounted a buoyant front wheel for angular steering movement. A transversely mounted rear axle assembly is rotatably supported on the rearward end of the frame. A pair of buoyant wheels and a pair of paddle wheels are mounted on the opposite ends of the rear axle assembly for rotation thereby. A pedal drive on the frame is drivingly connected with the rear axle assembly. A rudder member is mounted on a rearward extension of the frame for angular movement relative thereto. Flexible members transmit the steering movement from the front wheel to the rudder member. The rear axle assembly can be easily disassembled and the frame can be folded for ease of transportation.
