An extremely compact, low cost, folding motorcycle or motor scooter is provided by means of a novel, rod-like construction. A frame-like chassis defines a compartment for receiving the front and wheel assembly in the folded condition. Portions of the chassis are removable for this purpose. Other portions of the chassis provide pivot means for the front and rear wheel assemblies. The pivot means are skewed at an angle with respect to an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle so that the front and rear wheel assemblies bypass each other and are in side-by-side relationship in the folded condition. An internal combustion engine is used for the drive means with the seat of the motorcycle preferably being at least partially hollow in order to define a fuel tank. The handle-bar assembly is foldable and is removably keyed to the steering means.
