ABSTRACT:
A steerable sports scooter including a bi-laterally pivotable independent forward portion, a hand-operable direction controller, and an independent rearward portion in secured communication with the forward portion and having a support surface upon which to stand. Preferably, the forward portion of the scooter is angularly adjustable for selecting approach pitch, while the rearward portion includes a brake member. The brake member may be a manual brake member or a mechanical brake member. The scooter may be a snow scooter. The snow scooter may include a skag. The skag may be detachable and may be connected to the brake member. A preferable direction controller is a stem with a handle bar set for grasping and turning by hand. Most preferably, the stem is in axially pivotally attached communication with the forward portion for selectively moving the stem between a generally vertical and a generally horizontal orientation to thereby permit folding upon the snow scooter for easy carrying and transport. The steerable scooter so defined permits the user thereof to easily ride and maneuver over a snow surface for an enjoyable experience. The snow scooter may include a wheel component(s) or a tread positioned below the rearward portion to facilitate movement of the scooter through snow.
