A snowboard scooter formed of a one-piece platform wide enough to accommodate the width of two feet, with side-by-side but offset foot grips in the form of straps, as on a snowboard, requiring the user to place his or her feet in predetermined positions, a fixable post and a handlebar, and a brake system actuated either at the handlebar or by direct contact with one of the user's feet. Preferably a hydraulic brake system is used to drive a rear flange into the snow to stop the snowboard.
