Medical apparatus and equipment

The scooter of this invention is provided with a relatively large radius front wheel and a relatively small radius rear wheel attached to a compact frame assembly. Advantageously, the front wheel is a conventional bicycle-type wheel assembly comprised of a spoked wheel and a pneumatic tire, and has a radius which is at least four, and more preferably eight, times greater than the radius of the rear wheel. The frame assembly includes a planar footboard as a rear component and a front component which is connected to a forward end of the footboard and is curved upwardly therefrom so as to subtend a circumferential segment of the large-radius front wheel. A steerable yoke assembly is journalled to the forward end of the curved frame component to allow the large-radius front wheel to be steered by the operator (e.g., via a conventional handle bar assembly). The scooter may include a skid stop and/or a conventional hand-actuated caliper-type brake assembly. Furthermore, a variety of equipment and accessories typically used for conventional bicycles, for example, caliper brakes, running lights, fender, bell, parcel basket, and the like, may likewise be employed in the scooter of this invention.
