A vehicle comprising a left lower support wheel 210 to engage a left lower running surface 450, a right lower support wheel 310 to engage a right lower running surface (550, fig 2), a left upper cantilever wheel 230 and a right upper cantilever wheel 330 which bear against an upper left guide surface 430 and an upper right guide surface (530, fig 2) respectively. Also provided is a left lower cantilever wheel 250 and a right lower cantilever wheel 350 which bear against a lower left guide surface 450 and a lower right guide surface (550, fig 2) respectively. In a first and second mode the vehicle operates in a cantilevered manner from a left and right side of the vehicle respectively, in a third mode the vehicle is supported from beneath on a guideway track (600, fig. 7), in a fourth mode the vehicle is supported from underneath by a roadway (fig. 4). The left support wheel and right support wheel effect steering of the vehicle in the third and fourth mode.
