Abstract
A folding mechanism for a scooter to transition the scooter from a use position to a folded position. The folding mechanism has an upper housing connected to a steering tube of the scooter, and a lower housing operably secured to a fork of the scooter and pivotally secured to the upper housing about a folding axle. A lever is pivotally attached to the folding axle and operates to move a locking clamp from an unlocked position to a locked position. The locking connects the upper housing and the lower housing in the locked position. Additionally, a locking sleeve engages the lever to prevent the lever from being moved from the locked position to the unlocked position when the locking sleeve is in its locked position.
