Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent are:
1. A vehicle comprising a vehicle body including at least one ground engaging wheel rotatably connected to said vehicle body, a main shaft mounted for rotation within said vehicle body, a flywheel rigidly connected to said main shaft, said flywheel including weight means capable of being shifted radially with respect to said main shaft, drive train means between said at least one ground engaging wheel and said main shaft for transmitting inertia to said flywheel in response to the rotative motion of the said at least one ground engaging wheel and means for shifting said weight means radially with respect to said main shaft to cause a variable inertia response in said vehicle through the interaction of said weight means and said flywheel.
