What is claimed is: 1. A motorized chariot comprising: a drive unit having a frame, a plurality of first ground engaging wheels rotatably attached to the frame, and a motor disposed on the frame, the motor providing motive force to the first ground engaging wheels; a driver carrier unit having a platform for carrying a driver and a plurality of second ground engaging wheels rotatably attached to the platform; a tongue extending between the platform and the drive unit; a pivotal connection pivotally attaching the drive unit with the carrier unit; a steering mechanism including a tie-rod attached to the frame of the drive unit at one end and to the carrier unit at the other end, the tie-rod being moveable between the carrier unit and the frame such that movement of the tie-rod causes pivoting of the driver unit with respect to the carrier unit for tuning the chariot; and further including a steering rod capable of being turned by the driver on the platform and being connected at a distal end to the tie-rod for providing movement to the tie-rod. 2. The motorized chariot of claim 1 wherein the pivotal connection is a pitch, yaw and roll connection. 3. The motorized chariot of claim 1 wherein the steering mechanism includes a handlebar attached to the steering rod such that movement of the handlebar rotates the steering rod. 4. The motorized chariot of claim 3 and further comprising a throttle mechanism for controlling the output of the motor, the throttle mechanism having a throttle lever positioned within the driver carrier unit and a throttle cable extending therefrom to the motor. 5. The motorized chariot of claim 1 wherein the drive unit has four first ground engaging wheels. 6. The motorized chariot of claim 1 wherein the driver carrier unit has two second ground engaging wheels. 7.
