The present invention provides a scooter vehicle configured for conversion between an open arrangement (figure 1) and a folded arrangement (figure 2). The scooter comprises a front frame assembly 130 comprising downtube 132, headtube 134, wheel carrier 122; a central frame assembly 140 that comprises a platform 148, a base 146, two parallel beam 159, and a hinged coupling 159. The scooter comprises front 124 and rear 154 wheels wherein the front wheel is 12-24 inches in diameter and the rear wheel is less than 12 inches in diameter. When storage in small spaces is desirable, the scooter may be quickly folded into a compact package (figure 2) with a simple folding process that provides the central support assembly 140 being rotated in the rear vertical plane and the central support assembly is rotated about the hinge 142 such that the full diameter of the front wheel 124 passes through the frame beams 159.
