A handcycle 1 is disclosed, which supports a rider in a seated or kneeling position and is propelled by means of side-mounted crank levers 14 and 15, whereby the action of pushing either lever forward turns the rear driven wheel 5. One of the crank levers 15 also serves as a steering device, whereby it may be moved left or right to steer the front wheels 7L and 7R of the vehicle. The propulsion and steering functions of crank/steering lever 15 may be performed concurrently and are enhanced by the inclusion of a steering centring system, which biases the steered wheels to a generally centred position, in order to prevent unintended directional excursions caused by the action of cranking. The novel steering centring system described herein improves upon previous lever driven handcycle designs by assisting the rider to maintain more effective directional control whilst propelling the vehicle. f6 M 10 ), 7L 61-
