Subject and Style: Classic and sturdy design. The structure is simple and functional, typical of wooden toys of the period. It consists of a footboard and vertical handlebars.

Features: The scooter can be dismantled into two parts (footboard and handlebars) using the original metal hooks, a clever feature for transport.
