ABSTRACT:
A improvement to a snow scooter having a longitudinal axis, a stand-on area, a back portion rearward of the stand-on area, a handle, and at least one gliding surface having a flat portion defining a plane. The improvement includes a brake plate, operable with a foot of a rider, mounted at an aft end of the scooter. The brake plate is oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis, and is affixed to the scooter with a pivot transverse to the longitudinal axis in the back portion rearward of the stand-on area. Further, the brake plate is retained above the plane of the flat portion of the gliding surface by a spring until depressed with a force that overcomes the spring allowing the brake plate to pivot downwardly to protrude below the plane of the flat portion of the gliding surface.
