There is a New Scooter in Town… The Rockboard…

I received the product to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Ever since my boys discovered video games, I admit I have had a challenge encouraging them to go outside. Its not that they don’t like being outside, they just get bored of the same old ride-on toys we have.

Well Rockboard Scooters are nothing like we have ever tried. They are a traditional kick scooter but with more uses and actually features increased exercise. They are the perfect alternative to bikes, roller blades, and skateboards.

What makes the Rockboard Scooter unique?

Well instead of using the same foot and leg to move forward by kicking off the ground, the rider rocks back and forth on the board to achieve a forward motion. So the rider is exercising both legs aerobically! It sounds complicated and strange but it is seriously fun. Yes I have tried ours and I didn’t even feel like I was exercising.

 

Here is a video of my 8 year old on it:

Propulsion is achieved with each rock, wasting zero energy and allowing the scooter to reach speeds up to 10 mph.

Can’t decide between a traditional scooter or Rockboard?

Well the Rockboard Original offers the best of both worlds. You can use it as a Rockboard Scooter where you rock back and forth to go or lower the board with a few knob twists to a traditional scooter mode.

You can even fold up the scooter for easy storage and transportation! It even came with a bag for storage. Its heavy but doable.

Wether you want a scooter for fun or transportation, Rockboard has you covered and there is one for all ages starting at 5 years old. Rockboard Scooters offer a way to get around, burn off a few extra calories and have fun. I will say it did take me a few tries to get used to it but now I don’t have a problem. My boys had absolutely no problem from the get go and fight over this scooter! It is such a smooth and amazing ride and we get lots of looks when riding around the neighborhood. It is 100% rider-powered, no charging it. There is just nothing like it! It is more expensive than traditional scooters but if you think about how it is like two scooters in one then it really is a good deal and you will be the envy of others by how cool your ride is.
