  • the foot rest 14 is rotatably supported by the frame 12, and the catch 16 is rotatably supported by the foot rest 14.
  • the foot rest 14 is movable from a stowed position to a deployed position. At least a portion of the catch 16 extends transverse to the frame 12 and engages the frame 12 when the foot rest 14 is in the deployed position.
  • the mobility device 10 may compactly fold to reduce space to store the mobility device 10.
  • the mobility device 10 may be stored in a passenger vehicle (not shown) and other locations with limited storage space.
  • the foot rest 14 may move to the stowed position, and the frame 12 may include a plurality of telescoping frame members 18 that may be stowed to reduce the space used by the mobility device 10 when stored in the passenger vehicle.
  • a user of the mobility device 10 may transport the mobility device 10 in the passenger vehicle while reducing the space used by the mobility device 10.
  • the catch 16 allows the foot rest to move between the stowed and deployed position, securing the foot rest 14 to the frame 12 in the deployed position and releasing the foot rest 14 from the frame 12 to move the foot rest 14 to the stowed position.
  • the mobility device 10 may include the handlebar 20, as shown in Figures 1-2.
  • the handlebar 20 is supported by the frame 12, specifically the frame member 18f.

  • the first foot rest 14a in the deployed position supports one of the feet of the user.
  • the first foot rest 14a in the stowed position reduces the space to store the mobility device 10.
  • the mobility device 10 may include a second foot rest 14b rotatably supported by the frame 12 opposite the first foot rest 14a, as shown in Figures 1-5B.
  • the second foot rest 14b may be rotatable from a stowed position, as shown in Figures 5A-5B, to a deployed position, as shown in Figures 1-3B.

  • the catch 16 may include a first catch 16a and a second catch 16b, as shown in Figures 1-5B.
  • the first catch 16a is rotatably supported by the first foot rest 14a.
  • the second catch 16b may be rotatably supported by the second foot rest 14b.
  • the first catch 16a may include a first catch shaft 32a and a first arcuate portion 34a.
  • the first arcuate portion 34a may extend transverse to the frame member 18c and engage the frame member 18c when the first foot rest 14a is in the deployed position.

  • Separating the first catch 16a from the second catch 16b allows the first foot rest 14a and the second foot rest 14b to rotate past the frame 12, as shown in Figure 5A.
  • the space required by the mobility device 10 decreases when the first foot rest 14a and the second foot rest 14b are in the stowed position.
