What is it and what is the different kickboard from the scooter?
Cycard is an excellent combination of scooter and skate. For the first time, this development was presented in 1994. It is excellent for people who value active leisure. It is noted that kickboards help develop both endurance and flexibility and strength, and coordination of movements.
In kickboards 2 front and 1 rear wheel, while traditional scooters are ahead of only 1 wheel. Kicard developers refuse the T-shaped steering wheel. Instead, a joystick is used. But some users try to use the traditional steering wheel.
Advantages and disadvantages
Cycard management is possible and "on a scooter pattern." Therefore, such a device is suitable for those who do not want to abandon traditional manipulations with a tilt platform by pressing legs. But in most cases, steering joysticks are still used.
A double control system made it possible to make cycobord faster and maneuvering than a simple scooter.
Prevent PE at the same time help rear wheels brakes.
But it should be understood that the kickboard does not make sense to ride calmly. This device is for valuable extreme races and tricks. An unpleasant surprise can be an increased rotation radius. And because of the large size of the wheel, the kickboard repair in the apartment is impossible. But keep balance on it easier than the familiar scooter.
Varieties
Already a brief acquaintance with the list of cycard models shows that they are divided into three main groups - children's, adults and intended for adolescents. In some sources, they are also divided into 2 parts - up to 5 years and over 5 years. All known models belong to a three-wheeled type. Some modifications are supplied with the seat or have an electric drive. But there are still very little such versions (electric).
How to choose?
The most important consideration is the choice not only in the formal age group, but also on the permissible load. Otherwise, the kickboard will cease to be relevant in the middle of the season. Adult versions designed for load 100-120 kg, it is necessary to choose very carefully, because they are rarely well balanced. The next important point is the material of the wheels. The rubber wheel is bootable, but it is very unreliable.
Polyurethane drivers will suit much better. But the standard of quality is deservedly considered "inflatable rubber". She perfectly overcomes even off-road. Plastic housings are cheaper than metal, but whether it is worth saving on strength - everyone should solve themselves. And one more nuance: In technical terms, all kickboards are still fulfilling a unisex, the difference is only in design.
In addition to the above-mentioned brands worth paying attention to the kickboards:

- Kettler;
- JD Bug;
- Explore;
- Disney.
