A vehicle has a frame, a ski, an endless track, a motor, a rear suspension assembly supporting the endless track, and a continuously variable transmission operatively connecting the motor to the endless track for driving the endless track. The continuously variable transmission has a primary pulley operatively connected to the motor, a transmission belt, and a secondary pulley operatively connected to the primary pulley via the transmission belt. The secondary pulley is operatively connected to the endless track. The continuously variable transmission is positioned forwardly of the motor.

In some examples, a ski bike includes a frame, a steering mechanism rotatably coupled to the frame, a ski, and a ski retention system. The ski retention system rotatably couples the ski to the frame or the steering mechanism. The ski retention system includes a ski bracket and a fixed member. The ski bracket is rigidly coupled to the ski. The fixed member is rigidly coupled to the frame or the steering mechanism and rotatably coupled to the ski bracket.

Embodiments for a ski scooter device are provided. The scooter includes a central ski, a central platform, two outrigger skis, a suspension system, and a steering mechanism. Generally speaking, these components are structured such central platform is attached on top of the central ski, the steering mechanism is attached to the central platform and the suspension system, and the suspension system is attached to the two outrigger skis.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for attachment to a slidable runner, adjustable between a folded configuration for transport or storage and an unfolded configuration for use, and tunable to match various terrain characteristics and user characteristics and preferences.

A beach sled having a first flexible panel and the second flexible panel adapted to be pulled simultaneously over a beach surface via the handle member for transporting items over beach surfaces.

Disclosed is a support and suspension assembly for a snow sports board. The assembly includes a base configured to be attached to a snow sports board and a frame above the base. The frame includes a first portion extending vertically upward or upward and forward to an upper end. The frame further includes a second portion extending generally rearward from the upper end of the first portion. A seat is on the second portion of the frame. A shock absorber is connected between the base and the frame. A linkage assembly is pivotably connected between the base and the first portion of the frame.

The snow surface skimmer is provided with: a skimmer body; a steering handle, which extends upward at a slant from the skimmer body; a seat installed on a region of the skimmer body that is behind the steering handle; and a skimming board. The skimming board is detachably attached to the bottom surface of the skimmer body by a skimmer attachment mechanism so that the attachment position in the front-back direction is adjustable. A skimming board suited to the skimming person's body type, build, etc. can be attached to the skimmer body at the appropriate position in the front-back direction.

In some examples, a ski bike includes a frame, a steering mechanism rotatably coupled to the frame, a ski, and a ski retention system. The ski retention system rotatably couples the ski to the frame or the steering mechanism. The ski retention system includes a ski bracket and a fixed member. The ski bracket is rigidly coupled to the ski. The fixed member is rigidly coupled to the frame or the steering mechanism and rotatably coupled to the ski bracket.

A board for downhill winter sports forgoes the use of bindings for holding a person in place. An elongated rigid frame receives a foot board on a top portion and a base board on a bottom portion. A steering board allows for a person to direction motion. The elongated rigid frame also receives a rotatable steering column, which is secured through an arm and steering collar. A bearing assembly, including inner race and outer race, allows for rotation of the steering column within the steering collar. The steering column has a control end which includes a first handle and a second handle that serve as a user interface. The steering column also has an actuation end, the actuation end being a fork which is mounted to the steering board. A person can use the handles to rotate the steering column and thus the steering board in order to change direction.
