How about this for transport. Some kind of springy bouncyhoper (or whatever they're called). The astronouts would be able to bounce much further on mars than earth because of lower gravity and air resistence.
Use what is abundant and build to last

that would be great for quick little jaunts, but for the majority of travel on mars it would be almost a bad idea... your thinking about a majority of scientists that will be mostlikely not all that corridanated jumpping possibly up to about 5-10' off the ground. that could lead to some very bad injuries.
I'd suggest a simple vehicle of sorts over something like that.

What about a vehicle based on the same principle?

that might be a bit better, but it would be very unstable given some of mars's storms and the terrain. look at the rover pics and you will see MANY rocks all over the place on the planets surface.
i'd say your best bet is to have a very basic plow on the front of a simple vehicle.
or even have rovers go arround and clear paths of rocks before going somewhere out there.
