  • SCOOTER DECKS
    Publication number: 20120061932
    Abstract: A scooter deck includes elongate top and bottom deck plates having planar central longitudinal portions and side portions on either side thereof, with a pair of elongate stabilizing walls joining, and spacing, the central portions. The walls are disposed approximately one-third of the width of the top plate inward from the side edges thereof. The side portions of the top plate extend laterally from the central portion, whereas the side portions of the bottom plate incline upward toward, and meet, the side portions of the top deck plate, respectively, as they extend from the central portion of the bottom plate. The transverse cross-section of each side portion defines an S-curve. The scooter deck may has a constant transverse section along a majority of its length to define a multiple-tube configuration that offers substantial resistance to forces imparted during stunt riding.
