Abstract
A personal transport device convertible between a riding configuration and a stowed configuration is described. In one embodiment, a rear wheel and foot peg linking mechanism for the personal transport device includes foot pegs, including a first peg and a second peg, and a gear mechanism connected to the foot pegs. The gear mechanism is configured to rotate to move the foot pegs between an open position and a closed position. The rear wheel and foot peg linking mechanism also includes an arm connected to a rear wheel of the personal transport device and a post member extending outwards from the arm. The post member is configured to contact the gear mechanism to cause the gear mechanism to move the foot pegs from the open position to the closed position.
