In order to provide a wheel suspension of this kind which is based on a simple construction and enables an optimum level of suspension and shock-absorption for the non-motorized vehicle: (a.) the elastic element (21) is made of at least one dimensionally stable flexible polyurethane foam material, and/or (b.) both wheel swing arms (11, 15) protrude laterally over the chassis (1) and can be pivoted past a lateral frame section (3, 4) of the chassis (1).
