Abstract: A foldable scooter has a first frame section hingedly connected to a second frame section and supported by front and rear wheels, and a locking organ for locking the foldable scooter in an unfolded state. Two longitudinally extending, spaced-apart shield elements extend upward from the second frame section. When folded, tops of the first and second frame sections face each other, with the at least one rear wheel between sides defined by the shield elements. The front wheel(s) is (are) steerable, but can be pivoted to a location at least partially between the sides defined by the shield elements.
