  • Publication number: 20100270772
    Abstract: This invention concerns a recreational vehicle comprising a body having a front wheel and a rear wheel mounted thereto by a mounting system that allows relative movement between an axis of the rear wheel and an axis of the front wheel. Biasing means is provided for urging the axes of the front and rear wheels towards each other. A locking system locks at least one of the front and rear wheels against rotation in one direction whilst allowing rotation of that wheel in the other direction. The invention also concerns a recreational vehicle comprising a body having at least one bouncing element mounted thereto, the bouncing element having sufficient resilience to allow a user to bounce the recreational vehicle and wherein the bouncing element is mounted to the body by a mounting system, which defines an axis of rotation for the bouncing element.
