I’m a huge fan of toys that get my kids outdoors and moving their bodies. With so many high tech gadgets commanding their attention, I find that it’s getting harder and harder to convince the kids to play outside.
But recently we had the opportunity to test out the Rockboard Scooter. And let me tell you, it was a struggle to get them into the house when it was time for dinner!
My eight year old all the way up to my soon to be eighteen year old loved it. Most scooters are made for a narrow age range, but the Rockboard Scooter is made for kids eight years of age all the way up to a kid/adult that weighs 200lbs.
The thing that makes the Rockboard Scooter different from other scooters is the rocking propulsion. Kids motor around by rocking back and forth on the deck, which is not only fun, but a good workout too!
The scooter itself is well constructed and quite sturdy. I like that it has a hand brake. With the ability to reach ten miles per hour, that hand brake could come in handy.
Another nice feature is that the Rockboard Scooter has a kickstand, which eliminates the scooter being left on the ground. And it’s fully collapsible for storage.
While all four of my kids had no problem riding the scooter, I found that my littlest one had a difficult time with the rocking motion. But then again, she is tiny and doesn’t have a lot of body mass to work with.
My other three had no problems figuring it out and were zooming around in no time. With my eldest heading off to college next year, I think this scooter would be just perfect for him to zip around campus from class to class on. No fuels costs and some extra exercise. A good way to combat the freshmen fifteen!
My son Michael made a short video of all the kids zipping around on the scooter. Clearly, a good time was had by all!

I would give this to my daughter Eva. She’s getting to scooter age and would really enjoy this. Andrew B. – MA
Holy cow that thing is awesome! I’ve never seen anything like it. I have two teenage sons, so if I won, I would be giving it to them. ~Krista S.–WA
Loriann H from MA. I would definitely give this to my son. He has a ton of energy and I’m always looking for new ways to wear him out!!
Susan A. from PA. I’m torn, it would be perfect for my 23yr old son to use in the crowded beach town he lives in and I know my young teen niece would love it. Either way, someone would get a really great surprise!
3 of my 4 children would love it and I would love getting them outdoors! The 4th one is only 3!
Doreen C. Texas
Monique N, MA
I would give this to my 3 children, ages 16, 13 and 10. It’s something all 3 of them would love! How often does that happen?
Love this! As would my 9 & 12 year old boys! Chris F. Mass
I could give it to one of my 3 college kids, or one of my 2 high schoolers. Maybe it would erase all of my cranky old mom-ness if I used it! It looks fun.
Julie P MN
WOW – that looks totally cool! I may even give it a try but it would be a family gift for all my kids.
Lynn M – MA
Kelly M from MA. This is so cool. My 7 yo has already seen this online and wants one. I would give it to him. He’s the youngest and ALWAYS gets the hand-me-downs.
My daughter would love this! She loves all things scooter!

My seven-year old son would flip over this!

I’d give it to my 10-year-old son although my 17-year-old daughter would certainly give it a go as well.

Taylor Y.- PA

It would be my gift to our family.

It would be a gift for my son. We went to Florida last week and my son was so excited to find a scooter at a thrift store. On the way home my husband just put it on the bike rack with the bikes. Of course it rained almost all day. Needless to say the scooter no long runs.
