| Abstract: |
The convertible skateboard/scooter includes a base board with wheels coupled to a lower side of the base board. A handle is hinged to the base board and is movable between a first position in which the device can be used as a conventional skateboard, and a second position in which the device can be used as a conventional scooter. In the skateboard configuration, the handle is located adjacent a side surface of the device to provide a top surface that is unobstructed by the handle and upon which a user can stand while skateboarding. A parental lock can be located in the handle to lock the handle at either one of the first and second positions and to prevent the conversion of the device between the skateboard and scooter configurations by a child. An indent in the rear of the base permits the handle to be used for carrying the device when in the skateboard configuration.
