Why doesn’t Boardy have suspension?
Boardy scooters are designed without traditional mechanical suspension because they simply don’t need it! The unique flexible wooden frame, combined with large air-filled tires, provides natural shock absorption across a variety of surfaces from pavement to gravel to cobblestones. This…
What makes a premium kick scooter premium?
A premium kick scooter stands out through refined craftsmanship, precision engineering, and carefully selected components. There’s no wobble, no rattling parts, and every element fits perfectly. These scooters are typically produced in small, high-quality batches, with a focus on long-term…
Which is better for kick scooters: solid polyurethane (PU) wheels or inflatable tires?
Solid polyurethane (PU) wheels are inexpensive and won’t get flat tires, but they come with several drawbacks. They lack grip when wet, the bearings in their plastic hubs loosen quickly, their load capacity is low, they don’t absorb vibrations, and…
How long does it take to change the tube in a flat tire on a kick scooter?
With some experience, changing the tube takes just a few minutes, and for a beginner, it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes. Boardy scooters feature quick-release wheel hubs, making the process even faster and easier. All you need is a…
What are sealed industrial bearings?
Industrial bearings are designed to handle high radial loads with precise settings, eliminating the need for adjustment. Sealed industrial bearings go a step further, offering water and dust resistance, making them maintenance-free and highly durable. Though more expensive than traditional…
Does rolling resistance depend on wheel size or tire width?
While larger wheel diameters do reduce rolling resistance, wheel size isn’t the only factor for air-inflated tires. Contrary to common belief, rolling resistance is not affected by tire width, but rather by tire pressure. The higher the tire pressure, the…
Is a single brake enough for a kick scooter?
For normal* kick scooter riding, where you use muscle power to reach speeds around 5–10 mph (10–15 km/h), a single brake is typically more than enough to safely reduce speed or stop quickly. While most scooters use a basic rear…
