CONVERTIBLE SKI-SUPPORTED VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004067353
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
Universal wheel unit for mounting one or more wheels on the ski of a snowmobile. The wheel unit is a separate assembly that is detachably mountable on the ski or is an integral component of the ski. When retrofitting skis, the wheel unit is mountable on the kingping, on the side wall, or on the saddle. Wheels are readily deployable or retractable as ground surface conditions require, and allow the snowmobile to be driven over gravel, dirt, and hardtop surfaces, while maintaining steerability with the handlebars. A mounting bracket is also provided for mounting the wheel unit or another device on the ski of a snowmobile. The wheel unit is affixable to the mounting bracket, making it easier to retrofit a wheel unit onto a ski having carbiderunner posts in the bottom of the ski.
