Abstract
A foot-deck-based vehicle having an adjustable steering characteristic is provided. The foot-deck-based vehicle has a foot-deck with a front end, a rear end, and at least one rear wheel proximal to the rear end. A front wheel assembly is coupled to the foot-deck proximal to the front end to pivot relative to the foot-deck about a front wheel assembly pivot axis that is at an acute angle to a vertical axis when the foot-deck-based vehicle is upright. The front wheel assembly includes at least one front wheel rotatably coupled to a front wheel support. A steering characteristic adjustment structure adjustably controls a steering characteristic of the foot-deck-based vehicle.
