A light weight and portable personal mobility device, having an energy source capable of propelling an adult rider within an urban indoor and/or outdoor environment that is small enough to be easy to bring onto public transport vehicles. The energy source may be electricity or the rider themselves. The device, powered or non-powered, compresses from a small scooter in ride mode to, in a transportable state, a briefcase sized device. The outer casing of the device includes space within it for the integral components of the device and provides a means of housing components and transporting the device. A further embodiment/mode of the device, in addition to the retracted “briefcase mode”, and the deployed “ride mode”, would be a “trolley mode”, whereas the device, when in “trolley mode”, is pulled by a long handle, similar to the way “wheeled airline type luggage devices” are pulled around airports and numerous other locations.
