Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a scooter and, in particular, to a scooter including a brake system.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- To ride a scooter, the user would place his/her one leg on the scooter and uses the other leg to push off with so that the scooter starts moving, and to stop the scooter the user would drag a foot on the ground until the scooter slows down and stops. The problem is that most scooters do not have a brake system.
- Referring to TW Pat. No. M266958, a scooter includes a front wheel, a rear wheel and a pressing member disposed above the rear wheel. The pressing member is pivotal to a position that it abuts against the real wheel. Accordingly, the user pushes the pressing member against the rear wheel if he/she wishes to stop riding the scooter. Additionally, once the leg is taken off the pressing member, the pressing member would pivot away from the rear wheel automatically. However, it is not easy for the user to push the pressing member against the rear wheel as he is riding on the scooter. The problem is that the user has to balance his/her weight on the scooter with one leg while he applies a force to push the pressing member to resist against the rotating rear wheel with the other leg. Since the pressing member and the rear wheel are subject to repetitive frictional forces and pressures from rubbing against each other and it is liable that the user pushes the pressing member against the rear wheel too excessively, the pressing member and the rear wheel are susceptible to wear and breakage more easily.
- The present invention is, therefore, intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in the prior art.
- According to the present invention, a scooter includes a board for supporting the user thereof including a first side and a second side in opposition to the first side, with the user being in contact with the first side during the operation of the scooter. At least one wheel assembly is mounted on the board for facilitating movement and transportation of the board. Furthermore, the scooter includes a braking system operable in a first mode that it engages with and imparts a braking force to the at least one wheel assembly for stopping the scooter, and in a second mode that it is subject to a force and is caused to disengage from the at least one wheel assembly for allowing the scooter to be moved without subject to any braking force. Consequently, when the user wants to ride the scooter he/she uses his/her foot on the board to apply a force on the braking system such that the braking system is caused to operate in the second mode, and when he/she wants to stop the scooter he/she takes his/her foot off the braking system such that the braking system is caused to operate in the second mode, respectively.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a scooter with a braking system.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a braking system that is easy to be operated.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a braking system that the user is hindered from applying a force too excessively to damage a wheel assembly.
- Other objects, advantages, and new features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanied drawings.
