Our culture determines how we move around. Boards, poles and wheels have existed since ancient times. Skateboards, bicycles, scooters and everything in between only became a mass phenomenon a few decades ago. Scooters with three wheels are also called "kickboards" and are special scooters whose footboard is reminiscent of a skateboard. This gives you a characteristic way of moving and a wealth of possibilities that would not be possible with a scooter or skateboard alone. That is exactly what roller sports are all about in our time. It's not about getting from A to B, but how.
Three wheels for more stability
Kickboard scooters have now developed into a category of their own. A characteristic feature is the three wheels, two of which are attached at the front and one at the back. In conjunction with the special suspension and steering at the front, they ensure a smooth ride when cornering. Steering is done via the handlebars and also by shifting your weight. That's why most manufacturers of scooters with three wheels offer the choice between T-handles and handlebars that only have one steering button. If you have enough practice, you don't need any more to move elegantly and perform various tricks.
The footboard is often curved or bent up at the sides and is usually wide enough to comfortably stand lengthways or sideways on. Scooters with three wheels are only intended for well-prepared streets and skate parks, so there is usually not much space between the footboard and the ground.
Three or two wheels on a scooter?
A 3-wheeler can also stand on its own. This already shows that it is more stable than a scooter. This makes these scooters a child's play to get started in roller sports. With the choice between T-steering and steering knob, the difficulty can be customized even better. Experienced users can also steer without touching the handlebar. For children, there are three wheel scooter also with a removable seat box. This means they can also be used as a balance bike.
The real reason to buy a scooter with three wheels is the driving experience. While a kick scooter is straight and direct, a scooter with three wheels gives a smooth and elegant driving experience like riding on a wave. This makes this type of scooter interesting for adults.
For children and adults, the height is important. Just because you can ride without handlebars doesn't mean that its height is unimportant. To begin with, it should reach your hips when you're standing on the board. As you become more experienced, you can adjust it lower (or higher) to suit your riding style.
Kickboard scooter with three wheels: safe, practical, cool
The two front wheels of this scooter offer an additional advantage: if the model is designed accordingly, you can pull it behind you like a trolley after folding it up. Extras such as underbody lighting for kickboards are also available.
