The present invention discloses a coaster cycle having a front half which works similarly to a bicycle wherein it has handle bars that turn the front wheels. The front wheel turns left and right and also leans in both a left and right direction. The front wheel leans left to right and is connected to the rear wheels by a frame having multiple pivotal couplings so that the rear wheels lean left or right with exactly the same angle as the front wheels. The leaning of the front and rear wheels in concert gives the frame a unique design which allows it to make left and right high G-force turns in a very stable manner. Additional embodiments are disclosed which comprise twin, internal combustion engines being placed on the rear wheels of the vehicle in order to power the vehicle which also have independent thumb control throttles for controlling the rear wheels individually. An additional embodiment comprises having snow skis attached to the underside of the vehicle to allow it to be used on snow and also having ice-skate like members attached to the underside of the vehicle to allow it to be used on ice.

I claim: 1. A cycle useful by a person for coasting thereon, comprising: a) a frame having front and rear ends; b) a front wheel assembly being disposed on said front end of said frame, wherein said front wheel assembly can turn to the left and right, wherein said front wheel assembly can lean to the left and right when the cycle is moving forward, wherein said front wheel assembly comprises one wheel; c) a handle bar being disposed on said front of said frame, said handle bar being interconnected to said front wheel assembly so that a user can grasp said handle bar and turn said front wheel assembly to the left or to the right; d) a rear wheel assembly being disposed on said rear end of said frame, wherein said rear wheel assembly can lean to the left or to the right when the cycle is moving forward, wherein said rear wheel assembly leans to the left or the right with the same angle with respect to the ground as said front wheel assembly, wherein said rear wheel assembly comprises first and second wheels; e) means for connecting said rear wheel assembly to said frame whereby the rear wheel assembly can lean left and right at the same angle, with respect to ground, as the front wheel assembly; and, f) a platform being disposed on said rear of said frame for supporting a user thereon to permit a user to ride on the cycle and to push the cycle in a forward direction, wherein said platform is disposed in substantially the horizontal plane as said front wheel assembly leans to the left or right, wherein said platform is effective wide to allow the person to stand on said platform while using the cycle. 2. The cycle of claim 1, wherein said front wheel assembly further comprises a substantially vertical front fork having upper and lower ends, a spindle for rotatably receiving a rim having a tire thereon being disposed on said lower end of said front fork, wherein said handle bars are disposed on said upper end of said front fork, a substantially vertically disposed first pivotal coupling being disposed on said front end of said frame, said first pivotal coupling having a bore therethrough so that said front fork can pass through said bore of said first pivotal coupling so that said front fork can turn to the left or the right, wherein said first pivotal coupling is disposed between said lower end of said front fork and said handle bars. 3. The cycle of claim 2, wherein said front end of said frame is connected to said first pivotal coupling, wherein said frame extends toward said rear and curves downward so as to terminate at a connecting point of said frame to a second pivotal coupling positioned in front of and intermediate said first and second wheels, wherein said frame can pivot to the left or to the right in said second pivotal coupling, wherein said second pivotal coupling is substantially horizontally disposed. 4. The cycle of claim 3, wherein each of said rear wheel assemblies further comprises a substantially horizontally disposed rear fork having front and rear ends, a spindle for rotatably receiving a rim having a tire thereon being disposed on said rear end of each said rear fork, a substantially horizontally disposed third and fourth pivotal coupling being disposed on said front end of each said rear fork, said third and fourth couplings each having a bore therethrough so that said front of each said rear fork can pass through said bore of said third and fourth pivotal couplings so that said rear fork can turn to the left or the right. 5. The cycle of claim 4, wherein said second, third and fourth pivotal couplings are disposed in substantially the same horizontal plane so that said pair of rear wheels are fixed in relation to the vertical plane and are prevented from moving up or down. 6. The cycle of claim 5, further comprising a first substantially horizontally disposed cross member that fixedly connects said third and fourth couplings so as to stabilize said third and fourth couplings. 7. The cycle of claim 6, further comprising a second substantially horizontally disposed cross member having first and second ends, wherein each of said first and second ends are disposed an effective distance laterally of said frame to provide stability to said frame, wherein the midpoint of said second cross member is pivotally connected to said frame between said front and rear end of said frame, a first and second substantially vertically disposed link each having upper and lower ends, wherein said upper end of each said first and second link are pivotally connected to said first and second ends, respectively, of said second cross member, wherein said lower end of each said first and second link are fixedly connected to said third and fourth pivotal coupling, respectively, so that as said frame leans to the left or the right said second cross member pivots at its midpoint with respect to said frame and said first and second ends of said second cross members each pivot with respect to each said upper end of said first and second link, respectively. 8. The cycle of claim 7, further comprising an internal combustion engine being disposed on each of said rear wheel assemblies to provide power to each said rear wheel assembly independently of each other. 9. The cycle of claim 8, further comprising a pair of thumb operated throttle controls disposed on said handle bar so that each internal combustion engine can be controlled by the person. 10. The cycle of claim 7, further comprising snow skis being disposed on said front and rear wheel assemblies so that the cycle can be operated on snow, wherein said front snow ski comprises a shock absorber. 11. The cycle of claim 7, further comprising ice skate-like members being disposed on said front and rear wheel assemblies so that the cycle can be operated on ice, wherein said front ice skate-like member comprises a shock absorber.
