The chukudu (or chikudu, chokoudou, tshukudu) is a two-wheeled handmade vehicle used in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is made of wood, and is used for transporting cargo.

The chukudu generally has an angular frame, two small wheels (often of wood, sometimes wrapped with rubber), handlebars, and a pad for the operator to place their knee on while propelling the vehicle with their leg. On a descent, the rider stands on the deck like a kick scooter. On flat ground, the rider can put one knee on the deck and push the ground by the other foot like a knee scooter.
