A roller skate type scooter for improved maneuverability and control. The scooter includes an articulated support platform with pivotally connected forward and rearward footboards. At least one wheel is secured to the underside of each footboard and a steering assembly, such as a semi-cylindrical cab, is mounted upon the front footboard for remotely and arcuately maneuvering the first footboard generally in a horizontal plane about a pivot point. The cab has a semi-cylindrical front surface for substantially protecting the rider and for avoiding puncturing other objects and persons during accidental collision. The cab defines a shield which is constructed and arranged to substantially deflect the flow of oncoming air generally around the body of the rider during propulsion of the scooter. In one preferred form, the scooter is equipped with brake and kickstand assemblies.
