Abstract
The device provides an energy return mechanism associated with flexing and straightening of the scooter rider's support leg. The device includes an energy return mechanism having an end connected to the scooter such that resilient force exerted by the mechanism is longitudinally aligned with the scooter to act in a generally rearward/upward direction. A free end of the mechanism cradles the front of the rider's support leg, just below the knee. When the rider flexes the support leg, the resilient mechanism distorts in a longitudinal direction. When the rider straightens the leg, the forces stored in the resilient mechanism supplement the force of the rider's muscles. Thus, the device reduces the amount of energy used by the rider. The mechanism can be configured as an accessory to a conventional scooter or be integrated into a scooter. Certain embodiments are foldable and compatible with the foldable scooters.
