A scooter has a braking structure including a footboard, a pivoting member for pivotally mounting the footboard on the scooter base, and a recovery member enabling the footboard to return to its original position. The footboard has a curved rear segment which is separated from the scooter rear wheel by a distance. As the curved rear segment is pressed by the foot heel of a rider of the scooter, the curved rear segment swivels on the pivoting member to press against the scooter rear wheel.
