Braking and centering mechanisms for foot-deck-based vehicles are described. At least one of the at least one rear wheel of the foot-deck-based vehicle is a braking wheel that is pivotally connected to the foot-deck for swivel movement about a rear swivel axis through a range of angular positions. The braking mechanism comprises a brake member coupled to the rear end of the foot-deck. The brake member is configured to move between a braking position in which the brake member is depressed towards the braking wheel and drives a brake surface to a frictionally engaging position at which the brake surface frictionally engages the braking wheel to reduce a speed of the foot-deck-based vehicle regardless of the angular position of the braking wheel within the range, and a non-braking position in which the brake member permits movement of the brake surface away from the braking wheel.
