kickbiking

Kickbiking, also known as scooterboarding or footbiking, is a recreational and athletic activity that involves riding a vehicle similar to a scooter but with a larger wheel diameter, often resembling a bicycle wheel. The rider propels the kickbike by pushing off the ground with one foot, similar to a child's kick scooter, while the other foot rests on a deck or footboard.

Kickbikes typically feature a step-through frame, handlebars for steering, and brakes for control. The larger wheels provide a smoother ride and allow for higher speeds compared to standard scooters, making them suitable for longer distances and varied terrain, including paved paths and light trails. The activity can be enjoyed for exercise, leisure, or as a mode of transportation.

Variations exist, including models designed for off-road use with more robust frames and suspension, and racing models optimized for speed and performance. Riders often wear helmets and protective gear for safety. Kickbiking engages core muscles and provides a cardiovascular workout, making it an accessible form of exercise for many age groups. It combines elements of cycling, skateboarding, and scootering, offering a unique riding experience.
