Abstract
An apparatus called the "disco-car" is used for both exercise and recreation and comprises an exercising board, a direction-control mechanism and a wheel system. The disco-car does not need any driving power and can start to run at the player's will so long as the player stands on the exercising board and swings or sways his (or her) body together with hand control of the direction. A maximum speed of 11 km/h can be reached. The disco-car is easily operated and safe, and thus is suitable not only for the young and old but also for handicapped people.
