Abstract
The invention concerns a device for controlling a monoski (1), in particular for snow, by means of the combined simple rotation and simple tilting of a single control member such as a handlebar, simultaneously by lateral inclination and by longitudinal twisting. It therefore combines the necessary mechanical functions of a pair of conventional fixtures with the ease of use of a bicycle, and does not require a specific monoski. It makes it possible to move freely on the snow, controlling with both feet held but not locked, or indeed to use one foot to help push on flat terrain and provide stability. The lever arm provided by the control member is considerably superior to that of a pair of conventional fixtures, greatly improving ease of use and the maximum capacities of the device. Finally, it can be quickly folded for ease of handling and storage.
