ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides a swing-drive vehicle comprising a frame member, at least one ground contacting member mounted on said frame member, two assemblies disposed symmetri- cally and laterally of said frame member, each assembly comprising, a steering column means, a handle member secured to the top of the steering column means, a rod element secured to said steering column means and pivotally mounted at the other end to said frame member for lateral movement with respect thereto, a carrier member mounted at the lower end of said steering column means, and a ground contacting element mounted on said carrier member, whereby said assemblies may be moved oppositely and alternately in a diverging and converging direction by said handle members with respect to said frame member so as to impart a motion to the vehicle. This vehicle is driven by a rider by reciprocal swings in sideward direction to the rods, each of which carries a wheel, a ski or a skate through a pivotal joint and a carrier such as a fork. The vehicle is usually a cycle, which may desirably be used by a disabled rider who cannot move a foot for driving the cycle. A wheel, the ski or a skate carries by the rod may be the propelling member and the locus of the ground-contact-point of the propelling member is a meandering one.
