Abstract:
In an aspect, a collapsing foot-deck-based vehicle is provided and includes a foot deck, at least two wheels coupled to the foot deck, and a handle structure coupled to the foot deck via a locking pivot joint. The handle structure includes at least one handle. The locking pivot joint has a pivot axis that is generally unparallel with a horizontal plane defined by the lowermost surfaces of the at least two wheels. The handle structure is selectively pivotable via the locking pivot joint between a riding configuration in which the handle is generally distal from the foot deck for gripping by a rider of the foot-deck-based vehicle, and a collapsed configuration in which the handle is generally proximal to the foot deck.
