Innovation is Our Passion 

Since 1999 with the huge success of the first foldable scooter the aim was not to become a one hit wonder but continually innovate and improve modern mobility. When thinking of a new idea the Swiss design team always asks the same question, “how can we make getting from A to B more practically, time saving and fun at the same time?”. This question has lead to more than 40 new products and the creation of over 25 innovations. Read below on some of our favourite innovations how they've changed the way we travel.

The original model has grown and developed into many scooters including today's top selling Sprite scooter for kids.

 

Friends on their Kickboard Classic
