Abstract
A twist vehicle which includes a rear operation system wherein the steering unit of twist vehicle is mounted in a relatively rear position with respect to the vehicle frame, such that a rider can drive the twist vehicle without leaning forwardly and uncomfortably. The function is achieved by connecting the steering unit by a driving member which is further mechanically connected to a driven member by a transmission belt, so that when clockwise and anti-clockwise movements are subsequently imparted to the steering unit, the motions can be transferred to the driven member which are frontwardly apart from the driving member with respect to the vehicle frame by the transmission belt, causing the twisting unit, which is connected to the driven member, to rotate according to the subsequently clockwise and anti-clockwise motions, and therefore causing the twist vehicle to move forwardly.
