In the skateboard configuration, the handle is located adjacent a side surface of the device to provide a top surface that is unobstructed by the handle and upon which a user can stand while skateboarding. A parental lock can be located in the handle to lock th e handle at either one of the first and second positions and to prevent the conversion of the device between the skateboard and scooter configurations b y a child.
