This Big Wheel Scooter Isn’t Cheap… And We’re Not Sorry
Boardy is a big wheel scooter built for real rides, real roads, and real value. Discover what makes it unique, and why it’s worth every ride… and every penny.
We often hear this:
“These look amazing, but they’re just kick scooters. Why are they so expensive?”
Fair question. From a distance, Boardy may look like other scooters. But the moment you step on one, you’ll realize it’s something very different. Boardy isn’t just a kick scooter. It’s a boardscooter – a category of its own.
You’ve seen scooters. You’ve seen longboards. But can you name another boardscooter? Exactly. It’s one of a kind.

Built Like Nothing Else
Boardy is not mass-produced from plastic molds or cheap alloys. It’s built from the ground up to perform, last, and impress:
- FSC-certified hardwood deck, pressed with 60 tons of pressure, made from 17 layers. The number of layers and their grain direction were carefully designed and tested through many prototypes to create a structure that is both flexible and exceptionally strong.
- CNC-machined aluminum components offer precise fit and long-term durability. Even the wooden deck is CNC-cut, ensuring every curve and hole is exactly where it should be.
- Continental pneumatic tires, the only ones we’ve found that reliably hold 4 bar (58 psi) for maximum glide.
- Industrial-grade sealed bearings for low resistance and long service life.
- Precision welds at the steering column and handlebar further enhance the scooter’s structural strength.
- Every screw is tightened with a torque wrench to ensure proper tension and reliability.
- Assembled by hand in Europe with care and attention.
Boardy uses premium bicycle-grade components throughout, from tires and hubs to brakes and bearings. Just like a quality bike, it isn’t cheap, but it is built to deliver real performance for the long run.
This is not a toy. This is not mass-produced. It’s built to a different standard.
Designed to Ride, Not Just Roll
Most scooters are built for short hops. Boardy is made for real distance and real use:
- The low, wide deck makes it easy to switch feet and maintain a relaxed stance. No awkward balancing and no one-legged fatigue.
- It’s engineered for long rides (even 60 km / 40 miles), allowing good speed with minimal knee bending.
- 12-inch air-filled tires and a flexible frame work together to absorb vibration. The ride is quiet, stable and kind to your joints.
- Many customers even use it for rehabilitation after knee or hip injuries.
You can’t compare this to a typical scooter. The boardscooter moves with your body instead of working against it.
Big Wheel Scooter Stability and All-Terrain Safety You Can Feel
This is not a scooter that needs perfect pavement.
- True all-terrain capability: Boardy glides effortlessly over gravel, cobblestones, forest trails, and dirt roads.
- BMX-style U-brake with a hand lever, silicone pads, and brake booster. Responsive stopping power that outperforms foot brakes by meters.
- Reinforced steering column adds control and confidence, especially at speed or on unpredictable terrain.
With a Boardy you don’t have to constantly scan the ground for cracks or potholes. You can just ride and trust your footing.
Easy to Maintain, Built to Last
Boardy is engineered for longevity — not landfill.
- Modular parts make servicing simple. The wooden deck, for example, can be replaced in under five minutes, though that’s rarely necessary.
- Frame tested to 450 kg of static load. It supports up to 150 kg riders in real-world daily use.
Try that with a basic scooter. You’ll quickly understand that this is something else.
Some of the first Boardys built over a decade ago are still in regular use today, proving that with basic care, these scooters just keep going.
Sustainable by Nature
No battery. No charging. No e-waste. Boardy is powered by you and values sustainability in every detail.
- It’s packaged plastic-free and made with zero synthetic resin in the 2.0 version. Setting a new standard for material purity and sustainability.
- Because it’s built to last for many years, not just a season, Boardy is a true alternative to disposable gadgets.
And since it’s fully human-powered, Boardy is legal to use in many countries where e-scooters are restricted, including the UK.
Small-Batch Uniqueness
- Each Boardy is assembled and tuned by hand.
- Every unit has its own unique serial number.
- And yes, some special editions have even been featured in design galleries.
This is not just a vehicle. It’s a functional design object.
Boardy isn’t for everyone. It’s for those who know the difference.
Yes, it costs more than generic scooters. But it gives back more too: in comfort, performance, beauty, reliability, durability and longer lifetime.
And in situations where you might consider bringing a bike, such as sightseeing trips, weekend getaways or urban commuting, Boardy can often take its place. It’s lighter, more compact, and offers a similar kind of freedom and functionality.
If you’re just looking for the cheapest way to roll a few blocks, Boardy isn’t for you.
But if you’re looking for something you’ll still enjoy riding years from now…
Boardy is worth every ride.
