Abstract
The combination scooter and messenger bag is an article-carrying device that can be converted into a wheeled land vehicle. When used as an article carrying device, the invention resembles a conventional messenger bag with a single strap. This is known as 'carrying mode.' When used as a wheeled land vehicle, the invention resembles a kick scooter. This is known as 'riding mode.' The invention employs a mechanism that quickly and easily converts the combination scooter and messenger bag from “carrying mode” to “riding mode” and vice versa. Raising the handlebar shifts the messenger bag from on top of the footboard to the side of the footboard. Lowering the handlebar shifts the messenger bag in the apposite direction. In this way, the scooter footboard is largely hidden from view in “carrying mode” and exposed for a user to stand upon in “riding mode.”
