The Micro Kickboard Monster is a wide-wheel version of the Micro Kick board. It is designed to re-create the sensation of surfing. The lean-to-steer design, which turns by shifting weight laterally without turning the handlebar, is not unlike those on three-wheel kick scooters for children. However, the kick board is designed for adults and the steering is spring loaded, making the ride lively, intuitive and fun.
The Monster variant comes with 120mm fat wheels which gives it the ability to cruise over rough surfaces and greater traction for more aggressive riding. This is the SUV of kick scooters. It also features a skateboard style multi-layered wood and llaminated deck which gives the scooter a natural flex and excellent shock absorption.
FEATURES
Ultra-wide wheels
The wheels are the main features of the Micro Rocket. They are more than two inches wide. This allows the rocket to cruiser over grass, sand, gravel and other unpredictable surfaces where standard wheels may fail. The wide ball shaped profile allows the rider to take corners hard and low, for faster, more exciting turns. The larger contact patch with the ground also offers more traction and stability. On a long down slope coast, these wheels are less likely to wobble even at high speeds.
Rear Brake Inserts for prolonged and hard brakes
To support the more aggressive riding style, the rear fender brake has rubber insets which do no build up excessive heat even for long brakes.
Wood and Fibre-glass Deck
The cambered (slightly upward curved) deck offers very natural vibration dampening and and an extremely comfortable ride over even the most uneven terrain.
Inter-changeable steering grips
You can switch out the standard two-hand grip to a ball/knob grip (sold separately). The ball grip allows you to ride with your body turned sideways (like on a surfboard) and steer with one hand, making the kickboard feel even closer to a surfboard or skateboard.
Surfing and carving. That's the riding style best suited for the Micro Kickboard Monster. Skateboarders will understand it right away. The fat 120mm wheels will allow you to go off-track onto sand, grass and dirt. This monster is best for going out with the dog, and for adventurous riders to crave long slopes. Think of this scooter as a off-roader.
