FOOT-POWERED SCOOTERS HAVING ENHANCED STABILITY, TURNING AND CONTROL

摘要

A scooter includes a frame having a leading end adjacent the front of the scooter and a trailing end adjacent the rear of the scooter, a front wheel mounted adjacent the leading end of the frame, and a rear wheel mounted adjacent the trailing end of the frame. The front wheel is pivotally mounted to a front head set of the scooter frame so as to enable the front wheel to pivot relative to the front head set. The front head set has a longitudinal axis that angles inwardly toward the rear of the scooter so that a lower end of the front head set is closer to the rear of the scooter than an upper end of the front head set. The rear end of the scooter frame has a rear head set that extends along a longitudinal axis that is angled inwardly toward the front of the scooter so that a lower end of the rear head set is closer to the front of the scooter than an upper end of the rear head set.
