Abstract:
1. A leg scooter device, comprising: at least a first turnable front wheel and at least a first fixed position rear wheel; a non-stirruped foot platform located between the front wheel and the rear wheel that has a substantially unencumbered top surface for ready placement of at least a rider's front foot substantially parallel with the line of direction of travel of the device; and an ascending control member having a first end that is coupled proximate a front portion of the foot platform and a second end that ascends upwardly from the platform in use; a recessed shin contact surface that is coupled toward the second end of the ascending control member and is positioned such that when a rider places his or her front foot on the platform in the line of direction of travel and bends his or her ankle joint forward, a lower leg of that rider contacts the recessed contact surface; wherein the ascending control member and the recessed contact surface are configured such that the recessed contact surface may be moved forward by the force of a rider's lower leg against the recessed contact surface, yet be biased to return to an initial in-use position in the absence of the lower leg displacement force, thereby creating an engaging bias to retain engaged contact between the rider's lower front leg and the contact surface as that lower leg moves in response to bending of the rider's ankle.
