Abstract

A scooter includes front and rear frame parts coupled together through a pivot unit so as to permit turning of the rear frame part relative the front frame part. The front and rear frame parts are respectively formed with front and rear absorber-mounting members which are respectively disposed frontwardly and rearwardly of the pivot unit. Left and right shock-absorbers have front ends pivoted to the front absorber-mounting member, and rear ends pivoted to the rear absorber-mounting member. Each of the left and right shock-absorbers extends inclinedly and upwardly from the rear absorber-mounting member to the front absorber-mounting member so as to absorb shocks smoothly from vertical and horizontal directions.
