Non-motorized Land Vehicles

Non-motorized land vehicles are vehicles that are propelled by human power or natural forces, such as gravity or wind, rather than by an engine or motor. These vehicles are often used for transportation, recreation, or sport, and are popular among people who enjoy outdoor activities and physical exercise. One of the most common types of non-motorized land vehicles is the bicycle, which has been used for transportation and recreation since the 19th century. Bicycles come in a variety of styles, including road bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrid bikes, and are popular for commuting, touring, and racing. Another popular type of non-motorized land vehicle is the skateboard, which is used for transportation and sport. Skateboards are typically made of wood or plastic and have four wheels, and are used for tricks and stunts as well as for transportation. Roller skates and inline skates are also non-motorized land vehicles that are used for recreation and sport. These vehicles have wheels that are attached to the bottom of shoes or boots, and are used for skating on smooth surfaces such as rinks or sidewalks. Other types of non-motorized land vehicles include scooters, which are similar to skateboards but have a handlebar for steering, and wheelchairs, which are used by people with mobility impairments to move around independently.
