Abstract

A scooter or bicycle including a chassis is provided. The chassis has a guide bearing for a steering column holding a front wheel and for a supporting arm for a pivotable footboard having a rear wheel. The supporting arm includes a seat. The supporting arm, connected to the pivotable footboard, is pivotally coupled to the guide bearing. A portion of the chassis including the supporting arm and the pivotable footboard is transferable from a first usage position as a scooter, in which the pivotable footboard is substantially parallel with the road surface, by a rotation of 180° around an axis of the supporting arm into a usage position as a bicycle, in which the pivotable footboard supports the supporting arm facing rearwardly from the steering column. The seat is arranged on a side of the supporting arm facing away from the pivotable footboard.
