Abstract
A dual-footboard scooter in a tricycle format for off-road use on unpaved surfaces, the scooter having a front wheel of large diameter coupled to a steering post passing through a steering column to join a steering handle. A bifurcated frame extending rearwardly from the steering column forms two branches on which are supported parallel footboards and small diameter rear wheels. The front and rear wheels are provided with deep-tread tires affording good traction on unpaved surfaces. In operating the scooter, the rider grasps the steering handle, with one foot then resting on either footboard and the other foot extending through the free space between the footboards and swinging to make pushing contact with the ground to propel the scooter.
