A foot-deck-based vehicle having an adjustable steering characteristic is provided. The foot-deck-based vehicle has a foot-deck with a front end, a rear end, and at least one rear wheel proximal to the rear end. A front wheel assembly is coupled to the foot-deck proximal to the front end to pivot relative to the foot-deck about a front wheel assembly pivot axis that is at an acute angle to a vertical axis when the foot-deck-based vehicle is upright. The front wheel assembly includes at least one front wheel rotatably coupled to a front wheel support. A steering characteristic adjustment structure adjustably controls a steering characteristic of the foot-deck-based vehicle.

Foot-deck-based vehicles having adjustable steering characteristics

A foot-deck-based vehicle, a front wheel support, and at least one accessory therefor are provided. The foot-deck-based vehicle has a foot-deck with a front end, a rear end, and at least one rear wheel proximal to the rear end. The foot-deck-based vehicle has a front wheel support comprising a pair of wheel interfaces, each of which is couplable to a front wheel, a main body extending between the wheel interfaces and coupled to the foot-deck, and at least one recess in the main body. At least one accessory is snugly securable within the at least one recess of the front wheel support to modify a resistance of the main body to bending under a bending load applied to the front wheel support through the foot-deck when the foot-deck supports a person.
