Three-wheeled rear-steering scooter

1. A three-wheeled scooter, comprising:

a chassis having forward and aft ends and defining a longitudinal axis;

a front wheel non-pivotally mounted to the forward end; and

a pair of rear wheels coaxially mounted to the aft end and being yawable relative to the longitudinal axis between a neutral position and a yawed position wherein the pair of rear wheels remains coaxial between the neutral position and the yawed position.

2. A three-wheeled scooter, comprising:

a chassis;

a front wheel coupled to the chassis and rotatable about a front wheel axis; and

a pair of rear wheels coaxially mounted to the chassis and rotatable about a rear wheel axis, the pair of rear wheels being transitional relative to the chassis between a neutral position and a yawed position, wherein the rear wheel axis moves relative to the chassis and the pair of rear wheels remain coaxially mounted to the chassis as the pair of rear wheels transition between the neutral position and the yawed position.

3. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 2 , wherein the chassis includes a forward portion and a rear portion, the front wheel being connected to the forward portion and the pair of rear wheels being connected to the rear portion, the chassis defining a longitudinal axis extending from the forward portion to the rear portion, the rear wheel axis being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis when the pair of rear wheels are in the neutral position, the rear wheel axis being non-perpendicular to the longitudinal axis when the pair of rear wheels are in the yawed position.

4. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 2 , wherein the chassis includes a handle grip sized and positioned to allow for gripping thereof by a user's hand.

5. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 4 , wherein the chassis includes a foot support sized and positioned to allow the user to stand thereon.

6. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 5 , wherein the foot support is pivotable relative to the handle grip.

7. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 2 , further comprising a biasing member operatively coupled to the pair of rear wheels and operative to bias the pair of rear wheels toward the neutral position.

8. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 7 , wherein the biasing member is operative to increase a biasing force applied to the pair of rear wheels as the pair of rear wheels transition away from the neutral position toward the yawed position.

9. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 2 , wherein a diameter of the front wheel is greater than a diameter of the pair of rear wheels.

10. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 9 , wherein the diameter of the front wheel is between six to ten times larger than the diameter of the pair of rear wheels.

11. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 2 , wherein the rear wheel axis is parallel to the front wheel axis when the pair of rear wheels are in the neutral position and the rear wheel axis is non-parallel to the front wheel axis when the pair of rear wheels are in the yawed position.

12. The three-wheeled scooter of claim 2 , wherein the chassis includes a front fork connected to the front wheel.

13. A scooter comprising:

a down tube extending along a down tube axis;

a non-pivotal front wheel connected to the down tube and rotatable about a front wheel axis, the front wheel axis being fixed relative to the down tube axis wherein a diameter of the front wheel is greater than a diameter of the at least one rear wheel;

a support coupled to the down tube and sized to allow a user to stand thereon; and

at least one rear wheel coupled to the support and transitional relative thereto between a first position and a second position, the at least one rear wheel being rotatable about a rear wheel axis, the rear wheel axis being generally parallel to the front wheel axis in the first position, and non-parallel to the front wheel axis when the at least one rear wheel is in the second position.

14. The scooter of claim 13 , wherein the chassis includes a handle grip sized and positioned to allow for gripping thereof by a user's hand.

15. The scooter of claim 13 , further comprising a biasing member operatively coupled to the at least one rear wheel and operative to bias the at least one rear wheel toward the first position.

16. The scooter of claim 15 , wherein the biasing member is operative to increase a biasing force applied to the at least one rear wheel as the at least one rear wheel transitions away from the first position toward the second position.

17. The scooter of claim 13 , wherein the diameter of the front wheel is between six to ten times larger than the diameter of the at least one rear wheel.

18. The scooter of claim 13 , wherein the at least one rear wheel includes a pair of rear wheels.
