Abstract: An improved lightweight, durable collapsible scooter which is safe to operate and is easy and convenient to collapse, transport and store. The scooter has a steering assembly which is pivotally secured to the front portion of a frame assembly. A front wheel is rotably secured to the steering assembly and a rear wheel is rotably secured to the rear portion of the frame assembly. A hydraulic gas spring strut is pivotally secured at one end to the steering assembly and at the other end to the frame assembly. When extended, the collapsible strut releasably locks the steering assembly in an upright operating position for operation by a rider, and when the strut is in a compressed or collapsed position, it releasably locks the steering assembly in a position generally parallel to and adjacent to the frame assembly, for storing or transporting the scooter.
