The Kickboard Compact is the next step up from the Maxi – perfect for young teens and smaller adults. The 3-wheel Kickboard offers the same axle style steering as the Mini and Maxi – riders simply lean to steer, similar to riding a skateboard but with more control. The Compact’s slightly shorter aluminum deck makes it easy for teens and smaller adults to handle. The Compact’s handlebar can be folded-down upon arriving at your destination— portable and convenient. The Compact’s tested weight capacity is 220 lbs but we would recommend it for use up to about 170 lbs. For riders above 170 pounds, we generally suggest looking at the Kickboard Original. Now with interchangeable T-bar/Joystick! Quickly and conveniently convert your kickboard from the more “traditional” T-bar steering over to the Joystick steering, which provides more of a skateboarding or longboarding feel. Please note, when you take this product out of its display box, it will arrive in “Joystick mode.” The components needed to convert your handlebar over to a T-bar are included right inside the box with your scooter and instruction manual. As aforementioned, switching from one handlebar style over to the other is quite easy!
