What I claim is:
1. A sporting vehicle comprising:
- a frame having at least three wheels thereon, two of which are mounted for steering motion on said frame and a steering mechanism;
- a driving engine on said frame and having a speed control means;
- a transverse shaft fixed on said frame;
- a first bushing rotatable on said transverse shaft;
- a longitudinally extending shaft fixed to said first bushing;
- a board;
- at least two second bushings mounted on said board intermediate its ends, said second bushings rotatably mounted on said longitudinally extending shaft;
- one of said second bushings having a downwardly extending protrusion extending to said steering control mechanism whereby lateral tilting of said board around said longitudinally extending shaft effects steering movement of said two wheels; and
- said longitudinally extending shaft being coupled to said speed control means for controlling the speed of said engine in response to tilting of said board and longitudinally extending shaft about said transverse shaft.
