An apparatus comprises a frame. The apparatus may also comprise a front wheel assembly mounted to the frame. The front wheel assembly may have a front wheel and a front leg support assembly. The front leg support assembly may be operable to provide variable height positioning of the front wheel relative to the frame. The apparatus may also comprise a rear wheel assembly mounted to the frame. The rear wheel assembly may have a rear wheel and a rear leg support assembly. The rear leg support assembly may be operable to provide variable height positioning of the rear wheel relative to the frame. The apparatus may also comprise a drive device coupled to (a) one of the rear wheel assembly and the front wheel assembly and (b) the frame. The drive device may be operable to adjust and hold the height between the relevant wheel and the frame. The apparatus may also comprise a push-pull linkage mechanism operable to translate movement of one of (i) the rear wheel relative to a rearward portion of the frame and (ii) the front wheel relative to the forward portion of the frame, to movement of the other of the rear wheel relative to a rearward portion of the frame and the front wheel relative to a forward portion of the frame.
