A personal transport device comprising:

• a fixed frame, comprising a horizontal lower portion and an angled upper portion;
• wherein the horizontal lower portion is attached to a bottom end of the angled upper portion;
• a rear wheel attached to an arm that slides along the horizontal lower portion of the fixed frame of the personal transport device;
• a rear wheel cam-latch, configured to lock the arm in place to the horizontal lower portion of the fixed frame of the personal transport device;
• wherein the rear wheel cam-latch allows the rear wheel to articulate when unlatched between a stored state and a deployed state;
• and
• a rear wheel pin that holds the rear wheel in the deployed state to fix a front part of the arm and a rear part of the horizontal lower portion of the fixed frame before the rear wheel cam-latch clamps the arm in place.

A personal transport device comprising:

• a fixed frame, comprising a horizontal lower portion and an angled upper portion;
• a rear wheel attached to an arm comprising an inner tube that slides along the horizontal lower portion of the fixed frame of the personal transport device;
• wherein the inner tube is surrounded by an outer tube integrated into the fixed frame;
• a rear wheel cam-latch, configured to lock the inner tube and the outer tube together;
• wherein the rear wheel cam-latch allows the rear wheel to articulate when unlatched between a stored state and a deployed state;
• and
• a rear wheel pin that holds the rear wheel in the deployed state to fix a front portion of the inner tube and a rear portion of the outer tube before the rear wheel cam-latch clamps the inner tube and the outer tube together.
