Abstract

A personal transport includes a deck configured for supporting a rider in a standing position. At least one wheel assembly is mounted on a bottom surface of the deck, the, or each, wheel assembly having at least one wheel so that the deck can travel over a substrate. An operator handle is substantially rigidly mounted on a rear end of the deck and extends rearwardly from the deck so that an operator, standing on the substrate, can grasp the operator handle and push the apparatus along the substrate, or tilt the apparatus relative to the substrate, while the rider is supported on the deck. A rider handle mounted on one of the deck and the operator handle and positioned so that the rider can grasp the rider handle for balance while supported by the deck.
