US Patent 9610998 Scooter and steering system

A scooter has a front support frame that is pivotally connected to a scooter deck. A pair of front wheels are each operably mounted the front support frame via wheel pivots. At least one spring is operably mounted between the front support frame and the scooter deck for biasing the scooter deck towards a horizontal configuration, but enabling the scooter deck to move to a leaning configuration when turning. A steering transmission arm transmits lateral movement via a pair of steering rods to the front wheels, so that when the scooter deck is leaned to one of the leaning configurations, the movement causes the steering transmission arm to turn the front wheels via the steering rods.
