A vehicle (1) comprises first and second bodies (2,3) connected together, each body having three legs (5,5′) and the bodies are movable separately. There is a third body (4) connected to the first body (2) on a spindle 10 for relative pivotal movement and connected to the second body (3) for sliding movement. The legs are articulated at joints 7 and 8 and are adjustable in length. Each leg has a foot 9 which is replacable. The vehicle undergoes movement or walking and the combination of sliding and pivoting allows changes in direction to be quickly and easily accomplished.
