A body weight-activated scooter operated by the weight of the body through small, controlled, foot movements. The scooter has at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel attached on a frame, with a foot-rest pivotally attached at its forward portion to a fixed point on the frame and fixedly attached at its heelward portion to one end of a linking means so that the heelward portion of the foot-rest is free to pivot up and down. The scooter has a drive train mounted on the frame comprising a weight-vector wheel connected to an overrunning clutch-drive which is mechanically connected to the rear wheel, the overrunning clutch-drive providing sustained forward thrust when the foot-rest is depressed, thus activating the drive train via the linking means to produce forward motion. The linking means is firmly attached at its other end to a return tension means attached to the frame, enabling continuous, repetitive scooter operation.
