Summary:Mobile polyvalent de loisir pour la remontée et la descente de pentes tout terrain, comprenant six roues, un cadre châssis, un siège, des commandes de direction et de freinage, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un dispositif d'accrochage et de décrochage adaptable sur les perches des remontées mécaniques de ski, combiné à un mécanisme de sécurité commandé par le poids de l'utilisateur sur le siège, les commandes de direction et de freinage étant regroupées sur un manche disposé entre les jambes de l'utilisateur. A versatile recreational vehicle adapted to be towed by a ski lift includes a frame-shaped chassis and six wheels which are rotatably mounted on the chassis and include steerable wheels which are mounted on the chassis for turning about respective substantially vertical axes. A turning arrangement is provided for turning the steerable wheels about the vertical axes to steer the vehicle, and brakes are provided for braking at least some of the wheels. A single control element is provided for controlling the operation of both the steering arrangement and the brakes, this single control element being constituted by a control lever which is mounted on the chassis for omnidirectional movement. A winding roller is rotatably mounted on the chassis and a fabric seat element having one portion connected to the chassis and another portion wound around the winding roller. A towing cable is being used for towing the vehicle. A connecting mechanism releasably connects the vehicle to the towing cable. The connecting mechanism can be released either manually by displacing a disengagement lever or automatically in response to the rotation of the winding roller.
