  • Publication number: 20020140200
    Abstract: An attachment for affixing hand operated side wheels to a scooter board is described. The attachment has a frame, preferably made from a metal strap with upturned ends. The ends are sufficiently spaced to accommodate a scooter board placed between them. Each end has a short axle on which a wheel is mounted. The wheels have an outwardly oriented offset handle acting as a crank to propel the attachment when combined with a scooter board. A washer and bolt passing through the center hole of the scooter board is sufficient to mount the attachment. Slotted indexing blocks attached to the frame engage reinforcing ribs on the underside of the scooter board to prevent rotation of the attachment.
