Abstract: The present invention is concerned with track assemblies for an all-terrain vehicle, which make it maneuverable and effective upon a variety of unstable, uneven, stable and even surfaces, while designed to maintain tension upon the endless track belts to keep them in their due course and prevent accidental loosening while having a punctually localized surface contact with a ground surface, and at the same time reducing the damages inflicted on the terrain.

Abstract: A vehicle for transporting an individual on a wheel chair over land. The vehicle including a support platform with a first end, a second end, a mid-section and generally parallel sides; a first access platform attached to the first end of the support platform, a second access platform attached to the second end of the support platform. A mechanism, such as a pair of endless tracks at fixed location relative to the support platform will preferably be used for propelling the vehicle over land. A movable steering mechanism, such as a joy stick will be moveably attached to the support platform at approximately mid-section of the support platform, so that the vehicle is steerable by the individual on a wheel chair while facing either the first end of the support platform or the second end of the support platform.
Abstract: A locomotion system for use in an all terrain vehicle. The system is configured to enable emulation of one or more of three modes of propulsion, including wheeled propulsion, walking propulsion and track propulsion. The system includes multiple selectively rotatable bogies having terrain-engaging elements that are capable of independent rotation with respect to the vehicle and the bogies.
