that is propelled by a rider pushing off the ground.
▪ Some kick scooters that are made for younger children have 3 or 4 wheels and are made of plastic or do not
fold.
▪ High performance racing scooters made for adults resemble the old "penny-farthing" with a much larger wheel
in front.
4. FOLDING SCOOTER
▪ Folding kick scooters optimized for adults generally have more durable parts and are designed with wider
decks, hand brake, and larger wheels, for smoother transportation.
▪ A folding scooter can be more easily carried than a folding bicycle or even a portable bicycle.

▪ Solve existing problems
▪ Create more customer satisfying experiences
Assumptions
▪ The scooter will be portable and convertible.

8. LITERATURE RESEARCH
▪ The conventional skateboard with an upright handle is fixed in structure so that it is difficult to carry. Hence,
a collapsible skateboard has been developed to obviate this drawback. However, such a collapsible
skateboard is complicated in structure and expensive in cost. Furthermore, the handle of the collapsible
skateboard cannot be kept at a fixed position, thereby making it inconvenient to use.
▪ A collapsible skateboard includes an upright handle having lower portion on which is fixedly mounted a
bracket, a connector having a curved slot having a lower end formed with a horizontal recess, an upper end
formed with a vertical recess and a circular hole under the vertical recess, an adjust pin inserted into the
vertical recess of the connector and the elongated hole of the bracket, a pivot pin fitted through the circular
hole of the connector and the circular hole of the bracket, a spring having an upper end connected to the
adjust pin and a lower end to the pivot pin, and a platform on which is fixedly mounted the connector,
whereby the skateboard can be easily folded up as desired.
11. FINAL DESIGN
▪ Bending Deck
The deck can be rotated around a groove placed at the centre of the deck. This enables to convert the
scooter into a foldable and portable mode.
12. FINAL DESIGN
▪ Bracket
The bracket has been introduced with a height adjuster which could together be folded to fit the size of the
already folded deck using a prismatic joint.
▪ Front wheel
The front wheel has been connected to the bracket
▪ Rear Brakes
The rear wheel has a mudguard consisting of brakes, which could be easily applied by putting the foot over
the mudguard to slow down.
13. FINAL DESIGN
▪ Rotatable wheels
The wheels could be rotated freely around the protruding bearings, thus making them
compactly packable when not in use. A joint mechanism has been used to keep the
wheels intact when on road.
