Abstract: A hand propelled vehicle comprising a frame (13), a member (15) controlling the propulsion, associated with the frame (13) and arranged to oscillate relative to the frame due to the pushing action exerted by the arms of a vehicle driver, an assembly (17), controlled by said control member (15), for converting the reciprocating motion into a circular motion, and a transmission assembly (19) for transmitting the motion from a drive shaft (21) associated with said converting assembly to a driven shaft (23) associated with a propelling member, wherein said transmission assembly (19) includes at least one transmission shaft (25), perpendicular to the drive shaft (21) and the driven shaft (23) and kinematically connected to the drive shaft (21) and the driven shaft (23) through respective gears (27, 29).
