A tracked cycle including a frame assembly defining a front end and a rear end is provided for receiving a drive assembly mounted to the frame assembly. The drive assembly includes a drive gear assembly mounted to the frame assembly, a first idler wheel mounted to the rear end of the frame assembly distant from the drive assembly, and a second idler wheel intermediate the drive gear assembly and the first idler wheel and pivotally interconnected to the frame assembly to a shock absorber assembly depending from the frame assembly. A continuous track is provided extending around the drive gear assembly and the first and second idler wheels to generally define a triangle such that one side of the triangle defined by the continuous track extending between the first and second idler wheels is in contact with the ground, and a second side of the triangle defined by a portion of the continuous track extending between the drive gear assembly and the second idler wheel is inclined toward the front end of the frame assembly. The tracked cycle also includes a steering post extending to a tube attached to the front end of the frame assembly, a handle bar assembly attached to the upper end of the steering post, and a ski assembly attached to the lower end of the steering post such that movement of the handle bar assembly moves the ski assembly about a longitudinal axis of the steering post. The tracked cycle is also provided with a manual drive system attached to the drive gear assembly. In the alternative, the manual drive may be replaced with an internal combustion engine coupled to the drive gear assembly in a conventional manner.
