Abstract

A sliding twist vehicle for snowy ground. The sliding twist vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a twisting unit, a transmission unit, and a steering unit. The transmission unit has a control portion, which is extended above the vehicle frame, connected to the steering unit, and a twisting portion, which is extended below the vehicle frame, connected to the driving portion of the twisting unit. The twisting unit further has two sharp edge portions extended along the two sides of the twisting unit from the driving portion respectively, two supporting portions which are spacedly apart from the driving portion. The transmission unit is rotationally connected to the vehicle frame such that when a clockwise and an anti-clockwise movement are subsequently imparted to the steering unit, the twisting unit is twisted as a result, causing the sliding twist vehicle to slide forwardly.
