ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled vehicle in the form of a scooter. The vehicle includes a main frame having a platform relatively close to the ground upon which a person can stand. Forward and rearward wheels arranged in tandem ground support the vehicle with the front wheel being attached to a handle bar by which the vehicle is steered. The handle bars are journaled to the main frame in such a manner that they can be grasped by the hands and manipulated in a fore and aft direction in order to propel the vehicle along the ground, while at the same time lateral motion of the handle bars provides for the before mentioned steering. The handle bars are connected to the front wheel by a drive mechanism that includes an over-the-center apparatus which moves the handle bars off dead center each extreme reciprocation thereof.
