Abstract (English)

A single seater snowmobile type recreational vehicle and a steering assembly for such as vehicle is described herein. The recreational vehicle includes a longitudinal frame, a suspension mounted to a rear portion of the frame, an endless track rotatably mounted to the suspension, an engine mounted to the frame and associated to the endless track to selectively rotate the endless track about the suspension thereby allowing displacement of the vehicle. The recreational vehicle also includes a steering assembly provided with a handlebar portion mounted to the frame and pivoting about a first pivot axis, a fork portion mounted to the frame and pivoting about a second pivot axis, a direction bar having a proximate end linked to the handlebar portion and a distal end linked to the fork portion, the direction bar being offset from the first and second pivot axis. A rotation of the handlebar portion thereby causes a rotation of the fork portion. The direction bar therefore allows the first and second pivot axis to be longitudinally spaced apart. The fork portion has a distal end configured and sized to receive a single ski.
