Magazine Reviews of Sbyke Surpass that of Razor Scooters

Magazine Reviews of Sbyke Surpass that of Razor ScootersAccording to information released from the company, the new Sbyke® from Sbyke USA is gaining ground on others in the scooter industry such as the very popular Razor scooters. The reported boost is due to some recent articles and good reviews in Popular Science and Parenting Magazine.

According to the release, “Not only did the sbyke® come out on top in Popular Science’s “Wheel Wars,” it received the coveted “Best in Play” award from Parenting magazine.”

Headquartered in Las Vegas, Sbyke USA, LLC is a company formed by San Clemente, California beach locals Brad Wernli and brothers Bart and Steve Wilson, known for legendary history of motorsport products.

The Sbyke, a patented rear-steer kick scooter, went head-to-head with the Razor in a Popular Science April 2012 issue review in which three test riders determined the Razor® was “no match in maneuverability” and that the sbyke® “toppled the Razor®” when riders executed five-foot turns. The manufacturer cites the novel rear-steer™ system in sbyke® for enabling such precision carving maneuvers.

The review from Popular Science came just after the Sbyke was honored at the American International Toy Fair in New York, receiving Parenting magazine’s “Best in Play” award..

“Both kids and adults thrive with exercise that challenges their motor skills. The thrill of riding a sbyke® is like the unforgettable sensation of skiing down freshly-powdered slopes,” said Steve Wilson, Co-Founder of Sbyke USA.

According to the manufacturer, “The sbyke® blends elements of bicycles, skateboards and scooters into a new category of rear-steer™ vehicles. This three-wheeled, rear-steering scooter uses a large front BMX wheel and patented rear skate truck to provide stability and substantially lower rolling resistance than existing scooters or skateboards. Its compact, lightweight design means riders can stow and carry it almost anywhere. The low center of gravity and wide maple deck allows comfortable side-by-side foot placement for boardwalk cruising. Each sbyke® comes standard with a hand-brake and two stem sizes—one for small riders and one for tall.”
