Abstract:

A low center of gravity scooter using a standard bicycle pedal system for initial forward motion. The front wheel of the scooter is pivotally mounted to a frame and includes an upwardly extended shaft supporting a chopper style handlebar, for steering. A rear wheel pedal system including a pedal crank, sprocket, and chain drive, mounted to the scooter frame. The rear wheel assembly includes a sprocket with free wheeling chain drive hub for forward motion and free wheel coasting. This unique Scooter-Bike uses a bicycle pedal system to provide forward motion on a stand-up scooter vehicle that can be ridden as a bicycle until sufficient speed is attained. The rider then can maneuver it in the stand-up position as a very maneuverable scooter.
