Abstract
In some embodiments, a scooter comprises a deck configured to support a rider, a front wheel and a rear wheel, a steering column, and a foot brake. The steering column can include a steering tube and a handlebar assembly, and the steering column can be used to steer the scooter by controlling a direction of the front wheel. The foot brake can be configured to apply a braking force to the rear wheel when the foot brake is pressed down. For example, the foot brake can be configured to rotate about a pivot axis when the foot brake is pressed down. The foot brake also can be configured to return to an un-pivoted position when the foot brake is no longer pressed down.

A scooter comprising:
- a deck configured to support a rider;
- a front wheel and a rear wheel;
- a steering column comprising a steering tube and a handlebar assembly, the steering column configured to steer the scooter by controlling a direction of the front wheel;
- and
- a foot brake, wherein the foot brake is configured to apply a braking force to the rear wheel when the foot brake is pressed down from an up-pivoted position to a pivoted position;
- wherein an upper surface of the foot brake extends in a continuous fashion from an upper surface of a portion of the deck immediately forward of the foot brake in the un-pivoted position such that the upper surface of the foot brake and the upper surface of the portion of the deck immediately forward of the foot brake define a consistent slope.
