Two wheel steering scooter with latitudinal aligned wheels

Abstract

A two wheel steering scooter with latitudinal aligned wheels device. A center user support member connects the rear head tube to the front head tube. The rear wheel attaches to the rear fork extending upwards. The rear fork steerer column passes through the rear head tube and can rotate within the rear head tube by means of a bicycle bearing headset. A rear steering handle is connected to the rear fork steerer column. The rear steering handle is designed to contact the user's left hand with arm extended. The front wheel attaches to the front fork extending upwards. The front fork steerer column passes through the front head tube and can rotate within the front head tube by means of a bicycle bearing headset. A front steering handle is connected to the front fork steerer column. The front steering handle is designed to contact the user's right hand with arm extended. The rider's left arm is positioned at the user's left side and contacts the rear steering handle. The rider's right arm is positioned at the user's right side and contacts the front steering handle. The device moves forward to the rider's right. The steering handles should be adjusted so that the rider's body is roughly balanced across the vertical plane of the rear and front wheels. The device moves to the right and the rider keeps the device balanced by constantly correcting the coordinated rear and front steering. It may take some practice to make this correction reflex, but once mastered this device offers more control and artistic expression than a currently available scooter.

What we claim is:  
     
         1 . A two wheel steering scooter comprising: 
 a center planar user support member;    a rear head tube member connected to said center planar user support member;    a rear headset member;    a front head tube member connected to said center planar user support member;    a front headset member;    a rear fork member that extends upward with said fork member steerer column pivotably mounted within said rear head tube member using said rear headset member;    a single rear wheel being rototably mounted on said rear fork member;    a front fork member that extends upward with said fork member steerer column pivotably mounted within said front head tube member using said front headset member;    a single front wheel being rototably mounted on said front fork member;    a rear steering member connected to said rear fork member that the user's hand grips;    a front steering member connected to said front fork member that the user's hand grips.    
     
     
         2 . A two wheel steering scooter with rider mounted upright facing perpendicular to the direction of motion comprising: 
 a planar user support member;    a rear head tube member connected to said planar user support member;    a rear headset member;    a front head tube member connected to said planar user support member;    a front headset member;    a rear fork member that extends upward with said fork member steerer column pivotably mounted within said rear head tube member using said rear headset member;    a single rear wheel being rototably mounted on said rear fork member;    a front fork member that extends upward with said fork member steerer column pivotably mounted within said front head tube member using said front headset member;    a single front wheel being rototably mounted on said front fork member;    a rear steering member connected to said rear fork member;    a front steering member connected to said front fork member.
