With this movable driving system, a motor-snow-scooter could be used on a loose or slippery ground, like ground covered with snow or ice, and it could keep a good sliding function as conventional ski or snowboard in the case necessary, whereby to reduce the energy consumption and to keep the fun of the traditional ski. The operation of the motor-snow-scooter with the movable driving system is very easy.
The volume of the motor-snow-scooter could be minimised to be easily carried.
A motor-snow-scooter of the present invention could be changed to a motor-water-scooter by using a special driving wheel unit as a water-wheel unit and an assistant floating unit, whereby to permit a motor-snow-scooter to be used on the water.
Thus, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a movable driving system including a motor power unit, a driving wheel unit, a pedal unit, a movable support unit with recoverable spring unit, a transmitting unit. The movable driving system can be moved vertically by a pedal unit. The movable driving system could be used for different kind scooter or vehicle by changing a driving wheel unit. The driving unit could be a track type unit or a special wheel type unit. Especially the movable driving system could provide a motor-snow-scooter to have a good driving function with an ability to reach high speed by low power, and a pretty good sliding function as conventional ski on snow or ice, Another object of the present invention is to provide a petal unit for the movable driving system. The pedal could be connected directly or indirectly to the movable driving system.
For indirect connection, a said petal unit could be mounted on a main frame of scooter or vehicle, a assistant transmitting unit ( not presented in this patent) will be used.
