  • Patent number: 6725959
    Abstract: The present invention provides a unique recreational vehicle in the form of a powered snow board for traversing snow-covered or wet, sandy surfaces. The motorized vehicle has a front board similar in size and shape to a conventional snow board. The board carries bindings in which the rider may step onto so the rider can maneuver the board in a manner similar to that of a conventional snow board. The rear drive unit has a motor which powers a flexible track having a tread similar to the tread utilized on snow mobiles. The tread is carried on a swing arm assembly which is biased into the snow surface but will pivot to absorb bumps and to provide tracking and control. The rear drive unit is connected to the rear of the snow board by a pivot connection which allows the front board to be maneuvered by the rider while being powered by the drive unit. Turns are initiated with the rider's toe and heel and completed by the steering system.
