A personal vehicle configured for accommodating a child therein and having an operational state and a storage state, the personal vehicle comprising:
- a front wheel and at least one rear wheel;
- a body member having front and rear portions including corresponding front and rear ends spaced from each other along a longitudinal axis, the rear portion being associated with the at least one rear wheel;
- the body member having an upper surface;

- and
- a seat mounted to the upper surface of the body member so as to be supported at least partially by the rear portion of the body member, and a backrest connected to the seat, the backrest having a stationary backrest portion and a foldable backrest portion pivotable between an upright orientation in the operational state of the vehicle and a transverse orientation in the storage state of the vehicle, in which the foldable backrest portion is oriented transversely to the stationary backrest portion and such as to at least partially cover the front bar upper portion.
