A folding and locking arrangement for a collapsible scooter mainly includes a folding bend, a bend holder fixedly mounted on a deck of the scooter, two stop pins having an expanded head, and a quick-release screw having a cam lever connected to a head thereof. The folding bend is fixedly connected to a handlebar of the scooter and has an arm portion pivotally connected to the bend holder. The bend holder includes two upright plates on which two arcuate guiding slots are provided. The two stop pins are extended through the guiding slots and the arm portion, so that the folding bend pivotally turns when the two stop pins move in the guiding slots. The quick-release screw is extended through the two stop pins and a spring disposed between the stop pins, such that when the cam lever is pulled outward, the two stop pins is pushed outward by the spring to freely move to either end of the guiding slots and bring the folding bend to a folded or an extended position. And, when the cam lever is pushed inward, the stop pins at either end of the guiding slots are pushed inward to firmly locate their expanded head in recesses surrounding the ends of the guiding slots and thereby lock the folding bend to the folded or the extended position.
