A combination comprising:

• a scooter, comprising:
• a body having a deck and a footrest surface;
• a handlebar assembly operably coupled to the body, the handlebar assembly comprising a vertical member extending upward relative to the deck, the vertical member including a top portion, and a handlebar supported by the vertical member, the handlebar including grip portions that are accessible to a user riding on the scooter;
• a stick toy comprising an elongate stick portion;
• wherein the vertical member of the handlebar assembly includes an opening adjacent to the top portion of the vertical member, and the opening is configured to receive the elongate stick portion of the toy so that the toy is selectively securely supported by the handlebar assembly such that the stick toy is separate and removable from the handlebar, the handlebar assembly includes a retention ring portion coupled to the vertical member adjacent the opening, the retention ring portion includes at least one protruding member extending inward from an inner surface of the retention ring portion, and the at least one protruding member frictionally engages the elongate stick portion of the toy when the elongate stick portion is received within the opening and the at least one protruding member restricts undesired longitudinal and rotational movement of the elongate member within the opening.

A scooter comprising:

• a body having a deck and a footrest surface;

• a handlebar assembly coupled to the body and extending upward from the body, the handlebar assembly having a vertical member and a handlebar supported by the vertical member, the handlebar including grip portions accessible to a user riding the scooter;
• wherein the vertical member includes an upper portion that includes an opening, and a retention ring portion coupled to the vertical member adjacent the opening, the opening being sized and shaped to receive an elongate stick portion of a stick toy so that the stick toy is supported by the handlebar assembly and the stick toy is separate and removable from the handlebar such that the stick toy is not used for steering and is usable as a toy separate from the scooter, and the retention ring portion frictionally engages the elongate stick portion of the toy when the elongate stick portion is received within the opening to limit undesired movement of the stick toy relative to the handlebar assembly when the handlebar assembly is subjected to outside forces.
