Abstract
A brake assembly for a scooter has a braking assembly pivotally mounted at a rear end of a pedal of the scooter and in front of a rear wheel of the scooter. The brake assembly has an arcuate plate, two flanges respectively and concentrically formed at two bottom sides thereof, and two auxiliary wheels respectively and rotatably mounted on the flanges. A linkage assembly with a resilient member is mounted between the pedal and braking assembly. Whereby, when the braking assembly is trodden downward by a rider, the arcuate plate contacts the rear wheel and the auxiliary wheels contact the ground to increase friction to stop the scooter. When the braking assembly is released, it will return to the original position under the force of resilient member of the linkage assembly.
