Claim:
A knee-walker comprising a frame, at least two ground-engaging wheels at a front portion of the frame, a seat carried by the frame, a steering column and a steering belt linking the steering column to two front wheels of the at least two ground-engaging wheels, the two front wheels configured to be steered in response to rotation of the steering column and consequent rotation of the belt, wherein the frame comprises two side members extending from a front cross member at a front portion thereof, the front cross member accommodating the steering column and the two front wheels, the at least two ground engaging wheels further comprising rear wheels supported on an axle arranged between the two side members at a rear portion of the frame, and wherein each of the two side members includes a pivot about which each side member is foldable such that the rear wheels are movable towards the front wheels so that the volume required to accommodate the knee-walker is reducible for storage when not in use.
