Before K2 Kickboards and Micro Mobility Scooters emerged in Europe in the dot-com-bubble 1999, there were Ciro Boards in Germany. The Ciro Boards are still around and are an insiders' tip for mobility enthusiasts.
I bought the first Ciro board back then in 1998 at a German department store called Karstadt. They took the boards into their stock as a small "test balloon", to see if the idea of small boards with roller blade wheel is accepted by the customers.
Hell it was fun riding with the board. Now, in 2021 spare parts are still available and I took the chance to refurbish the board for my child. The aluminum parts are very durable.
Unfortunately, the boards are almost forgotten but still used by a faithful circle of enthusiasts who are enjoying the unique driving feeling and the durable construction details.
