Kick scooter

A kick scooter is a human-powered street vehicle with a handlebar, deck, and wheels propelled by a rider pushing off the ground with their leg. Today the most common scooters are made of aluminum, titanium, and steel. Some kick scooters made for younger children have 3 to 4 wheels and are made of plastic and do not fold.

High-performance kickbikes are also made.
A company that had once made the Razor Scooters revitalized the design in the mid-nineties and early two-thousands.
Three-wheel models whose frames fork into two decks are known as Y scooters or trikkes.
