Abstract
A three wheeled scooter comprises a chassis having forward and aft ends with a front wheel non-pivotally mounted to the forward end and a pair of rear wheels coaxially mounted to the aft end. The chassis defines a longitudinal axis and includes a support assembly and a handle assembly extending upwardly from the support assembly. The rear wheels are configured to be angularly yawable relative to the longitudinal axis between a neutral position and a yawed position. Steering of the scooter is thereby effectuated by angular yawing of the rear wheels relative to the longitudinal axis such as by asymmetric loading of one of opposing sides of the support assembly.

A three-wheeled scooter, comprising;
- a chassis having forward and aft ends;
- a front wheel non-pivotally mounted to the forward end of the chassis;
- a pair of rear wheels coaxially mounted to the aft end of the chassis and being yawable between a neutral position and a yawed position;
- wherein:
- steering of the scooter is effectuated by angular yawing of the rear wheels relative to the longitudinal axis.
A three-wheeled scooter, comprising;
- a chassis having forward and aft ends;
- a front wheel non-pivotally mounted to the forward end of the chassis;
- a pair of rear wheels coaxially mounted to the aft end of the chassis and being yawable-between a neutral position and a yawed position;
- and
- a foot support connected to the chassis, the foot support having a first side and a second side;
- wherein, to turn the scooter to the first side, a user rolls the foot support to the first side, so that the first side is lower than the second side, and to turn the scooter to the second side, the user rolls the foot support to the second side, so that the second side is lower than the first side.
