<p>A foldable scooter comprises a pedal unit for the user, wheels mounted on both ends of the pedal unit, and a steering column arranged on the front of the pedal unit. The pedal unit comprises a front pedal and a back pedal, both of which are connected with each other through a folding mechanism. The wheels include a front wheel and a rear wheel which are fixed on the front pedal and the back pedal, respectively. The folding mechanism comprises unfolding locking parts for fixing the unfolded front pedal and the unfolded back pedal, and also includes a folding locking part for fixing the folded front and the folded back pedals. After being folded, the front wheel and the rear wheel contact with the ground and roll synchronously, and running tracks of the front wheel and the rear wheel are spaced with certain distance. The folding mechanism further includes a hinge arranged between the front pedal and the back pedal, and the front pedal is foldable around the hinge towards the back pedal, or the back pedal is foldable around the hinge towards the front pedal; and the orientation that the hinge extends is parallel with the plane in which the pedal unit extends, and forms an acute angle to the connection line between the front wheel and the rear wheel. The foldable scooter can be placidly towed and is convenient to carry, thereby saving the labor.</p> |
