Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/145198

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A foldable scooter includes a pedal unit for the user, wheels (4,5) mounted on both ends of the pedal unit, and a steering column arranged on the front of the pedal unit. The pedal unit includes a front pedal (2) and a back pedal (3), both of which are connected with each other through a folding mechanism. The wheels includes a front wheel (4) and a rear wheel (5) which are fixed on the front pedal and the back pedal, respectively. The folding mechanism comprises spread locking parts for fixing the spread front and back pedals, and also includes a folding locking part for fixing the folded front and back pedals. After being folded, the front and back wheels contact with ground and roll synchronously, wherein running tracks of the front and back wheels are spaced with certain distance. The folding mechanism also includes a hinge (6) arranged between the front pedal and the back pedal, one of which can be rotated around the hinge and folded toward the other. The extending direction of the hinge parallels to the plane in which the pedals lies, and forms an acute angle to the connection line between the front wheel and the rear wheel. The foldable scooter can be smoothly towed and is convenient to carry, thereby saving the labour.
