Abstract

The present invention relates to a roller board, and more particularly, to a pedal-driven roller board that converts a reciprocating motion of pedals formed on the board into a rotational motion to drive a gear, so that a user can drive the board without kicking the ground. Furthermore, the pedal-driven roller board includes a derailleur, so that a user can conveniently control the speed of the pedal-driven roller board. Moreover, a user can develop and strengthen his/her muscles by pedaling the pedal-driven roller board. To this end, a pedal-driven roller board according to the present invention includes: a handle disposed at the front side of a board to steer a front wheel; a rear wheel at the rear side of the board; and two pedals formed on the top surface of the board to drive the rear wheel. Further, the pedal-driven roller board includes: a link having an end hinged to the bottom surface of a pedal; a driving gear formed on an end of a crankshaft connected through a shaft to the other end of the link to convert a reciprocating motion of the pedal into a rotational motion; a clutch gear engaged with the driving gear to rotate, and selectively connected to one of either a first speed gear or a second speed gear to rotate same; a first connecting gear and a second connecting gear, which rotatably engage with the first speed gear and the second speed gear, respectively, and are installed on an end of a connecting shaft; a transmission gear installed on both ends of the connecting shaft and rotated by torque transmitted through the connecting shaft from the first and second connecting gears; and a rotation gear engaging with the transmission gear to rotate, and connected to the rear wheel through a rotation shaft to transmit the torque from the transmission gear to the rear wheel.
