One of its roller assemblies has a rotatable axle and a pair of wheels fixedly secured thereto for conjoint rotation. A chain extends below the platform and is entrained upwardly through spaced holes for grasping by the user. A transmission is secured to the rotatable axle and is actuated by the movement of the chain to rotate the axle and thus propel the skateboard.
