Scooting down sidewalks and trails brings thrill and freedom for riders of all ages. But mastering the scoot life requires practice in coordination, balance and core strength when not riding. That's why Scoot and Ride Scooter offers a specially designed balance board to supplement our scooter sales.
Much more than a toy, the Scoot and Ride LED Balance Board provides targeted training between rides. Combining recreation and fitness, users stand on the deck and tilt their body weight to steer, engaging the same muscles and movements used for scootering. The result? Enhanced stability, responsiveness and injury resilience every time you hop on your scooter.
In this blog, we’ll highlight how the unique features of our patented balance board help riders of all abilities improve. Read on to learn how you can incorporate off-scooter training into your routine.
Mastering Balance and Weight Distribution
Balancing on two wheels while propelling a scooter forward requires whole-body coordination. Subtle shifts in weight from one foot to the other steer the deck right and left as you lean into turns. Keeping upright while in motion relies on a centered gravity point.
The Scoot and Ride official Balance Board mimics these mechanics in a stationary tool. The deck tilts side to side as you subtly transfer your weight from heel to toe. Gentle bouncing engages core muscles to stay centered. Before long, your reflexes and intrinsic balance start to adjust.
Unlike stationary boards that only tilt, our product also rocks gently front to back. This added movement translates directly to scooter dynamics as you press through the back foot to accelerate and then shift forward for braking. Over time, using the board recalibrates your weight distribution for better control on scooter rides.
Practicing Tricks Without Wheels
Once basic balance and steering become second nature, many riders want to take their scooting skills to the next level. Tricks like small hops, 180 spins and “no hands” gliding add excitement. But attempting aerial maneuvers or hands-free riding before you have solid balance frequently leads to crashes and falls.
Our LED Balance Board allows the conditioning of the muscles and coordination required for tricks without the crash risk. Center your weight then carefully lifts one foot while tilting the board gently side to side. Repeat with the other foot to simulate bunny hops or manuals. Practice quick front-to-back transitions as you would for a 180 spin. Or simply hold your arms out to either side as you steer back and forth with your entire core.
The board’s gently curved bottom won’t catch on the ground as the edges tilt. So, you can build stability through big leans and shifts without worry of slamming down hard. Prepare to impress fellow riders with your scooter park skills using our unique training product.
Glowing Fun for All Ages
Scooting itself provides hours of entertainment for kids and kids at heart. So, we designed our balance board to be just as fun and engaging. The LED perimeter glows vibrant colors as you tilt, twist and bounce. Low battery? No problem - the manual charger has you rolling in no time.
Kids love chasing rainbows of light as they strengthen their skills. The gentle curvature allows very young riders to hold the edges for support as they learn to balance. School-aged daredevils can get creative with tricks and extreme tilting. Adults appreciate the combination of fitness and amusement during breaks from remote work or while supervising young ones.
Everyone finds the glowing lights mesmerizing in low light. Spinning patterns of color keep motivation high even through the core burn. Challenge friends or family to informal competitions tracking how long you can last as the board gets progressively more unstable. No matter your age or skill level, the Scoot and Ride US Balance Board infuses interactive fun into vital off-scooter training.
Injury Prevention Through Resilience
While mastering new skills and testing your limits brings excitement, it also increases injury risk from falls and crashes. Sprained wrists, skinned knees and sore tailbones may seem like unavoidable side effects of the scoot life. But targeted training reduces those occurrences.
Using the LED Balance Board strengthens the tiny intrinsic muscles surrounding your joints. Those include delicate tissues in the feet, ankles, knees and hips that stabilize your frame. Healthy connective tissue keeps joints aligned properly to absorb impacts. The board also conditions your core to protect vital organs and your back.
When crashes do happen, increased balance helps you land more cleanly. And strong stabilizers let you correct awkward landings before an injury occurs. While some tumbles will always be part of advancing your abilities, our unique training product ensures you bounce back quickly. Staying resilient means less downtime and more days of enjoying the ride.
