Abstract
A steerable scooter is provided. The steerable scooter includes a single front wheel as well as two rear wheels that provides for leaning and directional control, with the front wheel and rear wheels arranged in a three-point, constant triangular formation that enables exceptional scooter stability and handling. Further, assisting wheels are installed on two sides at the bottom end of a rearwardly inclined front stem that are disposed marginally higher than and simultaneously articulated with the front wheel. Since the assisting wheels and front wheel form a triangular formation that is wide at the interior and narrow at the posterior, when the handlebar is turned for a larger angle, the arrangement is capable of effectively preventing slide out due to loss of lateral traction. Additionally, a freely adjustable and removable saddle is installed on the frame and the two rear wheels are equipped with a synchronized brake mechanism to allow safe riding and, furthermore, the option of enjoying the scooter of the present invention while seated or standing on one foot.
