Abstract: A scooter includes a frame which has a footboard and supports a rear wheel, a steering column provided with a front wheel pivotably mounted on the frame, and a motor provided with a drive shaft coupled to the rear wheel via a transmission system. The transmission system includes a rear transverse shaft having a first end portion and a second end portion rotatably coupled to the rear wheel; —a gear system having a sprocket coupled rotatably to the first end portion and in meshing engagement with a toothed gear rotatably coupled to the drive shaft; and —a rear structure attached to the frame, supporting the gear system and the rear transverse shaft, and extending laterally along one side only—right or left—of the rear wheel, such that the second end portion extends from the rear structure to support the rear wheel in a cantilevered fashion.

Abstract: A foldable scooter includes a frame and a steering column provided with a front wheel and pivotably mounted on the frame, which has a first portion supporting a rear wheel and a footboard, and a second portion supporting the steering column. The first portion and the second portion are connected by a swivel joint along a folding axis, allowing movement between: —an unfolded configuration in which the steering column projects upwards with respect to the footboard by extending in a median plane; and —a folded configuration in which the steering column is on a first side face with respect to the median plane and extends away from the median plane, at least partially underneath the footboard, along a first side edge of the footboard and opposite a first side surface of the rear wheel.
