A foot operated wheeled vehicle is disclosed, the vehicle having a frame, a rear wheel, a front wheel pivotally mounted to the frame and handle bars operatively coupled to the front wheel for pivoting the front wheel in the desired angle. The rear wheel has a hub mounted to the frame, the hub having a sprocket mechanically coupled to the hub, a drive sprocket rotatably mounted to the frame and mechanically coupled to the sprocket of the rear wheel by a chain. The vehicle also has a right and left pedal pivotally mounted to the right and left side of the frame, respectively, and pivotally movable between a raised and lowered position, the right and left pedal being mechanically coupled to the drive sprocket by a ratchet mechanism. The ratchet mechanism is adapted and configured to rotate the drive sprocket only when a pedal is moved from its elevated to its lowered position. The ratchet mechanism also permits the right and left pedal to be move independent of each other. Each of the pedals are biased towards their elevated position by a spring.
L'invention concerne un véhicule à roues manoeuvré au pied, ledit véhicule comportant un cadre, une roue arrière, une roue avant monté par pivotement au cadre et des guidons couplés à la roue avant pour faire pivoter la roue avant selon l'angle désiré. La roue arrière comporte un moyeu fixé au cadre, ledit moyen ayant un pignon mécaniquement couplé au moyeu, un pignon d'entraînement fixé par rotation au cadre et mécaniquement couplé au pignon de la roue arrière au moyen d'une chaîne. Le véhicule comprend également une pédale droite et gauche fixée respectivement à droite et à gauche du cadre et qui passe d'une position élevée à une position abaissée par pivot, la pédale droite et gauche étant mécaniquement couplée au pignon d'entraînement par un mécanisme à cliquet. Le mécanisme à cliquet est configuré pour faire tourner le pignon d'entraînement seulement lorsqu'une pédale passe de la position élevée à la position abaissée. Le mécanisme à cliquet permet également aux pédales de droite et de gauche d'être plus indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Chacune des pédales est orientée vers sa position élevée au moyen d'un ressort.
