A brake assembly for a wheeled personal vehicle such as a scooter or the like includes a brake shoe adapted for selective frictional engagement with the ground, and hingedly secured to the rear underside of the vehicle. A flat head plunger is secured at its lower end to a channel formed in the brake shoe, and extends upwardly through a slot in the rear portion of the vehicle. A pedal is hingedly secured to the top rear surface of the vehicle, and is provided with a collar which engages the upper ball end of the plunger. The plunger may be depressed by the foot of the vehicle rider, forcing the brake shoe to frictionally engage the ground surface and slow the vehicle.
