The invention relates to a scooter with pedals. The scooter comprises a chassis box (1), a handlebar (2), a front wheel (3) and a rear wheel (4). A chain wheel (5) is arranged in the chassis box (1) and arranged in the chassis box (1) through an installation shaft (52) and drives the rear wheel (4) through a chain (51) and a small flywheel coaxial with the rear wheel. A pedal mechanism (6) is arranged on the top face of the chassis box (1) through an X-shaped lifting frame (7). The X-shaped lifting frame (7) makes the pedal mechanism (6) parallel to the chassis box (1) all the time in the whole pedaling process from high to low. The pedal mechanism (6) drives the installation shaft (52) through a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism converts the force in up and down direction into the force in the front and back direction, and forward rotation drive force is provided for the chain wheel (5). The scooter is simple in structure and convenient to use, a user is unlikely to feel tired, the double pedals are adopted for being matched with the left foot and the right foot, the pedal mechanism drives the wheels through up and down motion and is parallel to the chassis box of the scooter all the time, and the scooter better accords with the human engineering.
