It is beautiful, compact, and I like the springy feel. I am pleased with my purchase. Thank you for designing and building such a neat scooter, and thanks for your good service.

My friend Judi (also from Bournemouth) got hers today, and she's just texted me to thank me for recommending it, and she's singing Boardy's praises after her first ride today.

In reality the Boardy looks even better than at the pics. I know a few good scooter with smaller wheels, but the performance from and the fun with the Boardy is outstanding. What makes the Boardy so novel and ingenious can only be understood once you have driven it.
Envind (Göteborg, Sweden)
Boardy is far superior to any kick scooter I have tried before or after. This is top of the line.
Helen (Bournemouth, UK)
I’ve had my first Boardy for 2 years now and have done over 2000 miles (nearly 3500k) on it, and apart from replacing the brake-blocks, it is still in perfect working order.
The Boardy ride is wonderful, sumptuous, uplifting. It is a combination of glide and speed. The smoothest scooter I've ever ridden. It's hard to find words to describe it properly - but when you try it. It's just WOW!!!
Guy (Uffington, UK)
Just looks beautiful…. almost too nice to ride! 🙂
