I tought SP3 DLX 21m2 gets a lighter rider riding in 6kts with a LW board.
It looks like a totaly different sport. Not appealing for me!
Wat is your price estimate? Close to SP3 DLX 21m2 price?
Your frank reply leaves me absolutely speechless , which doesn't matter much, I suppose, as I seemingly anyway wouldn't have stood any chances to convince you of the ingenuity of my invention.frankm1960 wrote:If no one's using raceboards it might be because it's a whole new discipline in the same way using a surfboard is. They're not more difficult, they require new and different skills than TT. You have to take time to learn it. Not only that you have to pay for the damn board... more gear... more decisions on what to use and when, more stuff to carry aroundkibokit wrote: Main reason for this, I suppose, is a steep learning curve and it being physically and mentally exhausting, at least for beginners.
In the following video I am presenting a prototype of a kite scooter with a heel free rigging system, which could be operated almost instantly and effortlessly by any kiter.
Any feedback, praise, concerns, suggestions, questions, etc. welcome

That scooter is just another one of those light wind tools.... a reinvention of the already pretty good wheel sort of... except it looks more complicated and awkward and heavy and WAY more dangerous and not likely easy to learn like you say and likely way less fun cause you're getting your ass whooped by the seat
You can use a nice simple name like scooter to fool people all you want but it is what it is... a frankenstinean, heavy, dangerous, giant blender waiting for it's first victim. Totally ridiculous and not worth a penny of investment dollars. I say total waste of energy and time.
If you were on shark tank they'd bite you
But then I don't know squat about investing in new products
You did ask and so now I'll let you pummel me
i think as well it is accident waiting to happen.frankm1960 wrote:...That scooter is just another one of those light wind tools.... a reinvention of the already pretty good wheel sort of... except it looks more complicated and awkward and heavy and WAY more dangerous and not likely easy to learn like you say and likely way less fun cause you're getting your ass whooped by the seat ...
I need 9 to 10knts with the 21sqm Speed3 and a big board (no door) with my 85 kg to just be able to stay upwind, not much fun though.zob wrote:I tought SP3 DLX 21m2 gets a lighter rider riding in 6kts with a LW board.

I get the ingenuity part for sure. It's really good how you put it together and all the engineering talents you possess... way better than any thing I could do. Put the project on your resume it's that good.kibokit wrote:Your frank reply leaves me absolutely speechless , which doesn't matter much, I suppose, as I seemingly anyway wouldn't have stood any chances to convince you of the ingenuity of my invention.
At least you haven't been left indifferent, which would have been even worse

But it's still a BAD idea for many reasons and if I were you I would step back and cease work on it. You're wasting your time if your goal is to make it into a product.
Here's a ridiculous idea and it's still better than yours... strip all metal off your "scooter", add wheels and a leg rope... there... you have an amphibious surfboard... kids can paddle it into the water and surf right back up on shore... when time to go... throw all your beach gear on it, grab the legrope and you have a pull cart to haul all your stuff back to the car
But I used to hate golf so what the hell do I know.
All in good fun... you're a genius compared to me and most others I'm sure... just a smokn bad idea (((((IMO)))) and that's what I want to get across
So give me one good reason why that's a good idea and I'll shut up
