Skatecycle–the next generation recreational vehicle

This is the skatecycle–the next generation recreational vehicle that won an International Design Excellence Award and a permanent place in the Henry Ford Museum. It combines the foot control of snowboarding, the balanced turning of skateboarding, and the nimble, undulating movements of casterboarding.

Providing an easy transition for those who already participate in any of the three sports, both feet are placed onto two slip-resistant footboards, and its double-jointed, twisting axle allows riders to move either of the 9″ polyurethane wheels individually by twisting the feet inwards and outwards.

This continued foot motion, in synchronization with a twisting upper body, “drives” the cycle over flat, level ground. Durable aluminum and composite frame supports riders up to 220 lbs. Helmet and protective gear should always be worn when riding. 30″ L x 6 1/2″ W x 9 1/2″ H. (7 1/4 lbs.)
