Stair-Rover - Innovative New Longboard

Built from the ground up to surf the entire city, the Stair-Rover longboard features a unique eight-wheeled mechanism allowing for cruising on smooth pavements or even down a flight of stairs. The Stair-Rover is the brainchild of Royal College of Art graduate Po-Chih Lai, whose design is highlighted by a flexible aluminum V-frame that flexes and conforms to the terrain, complete with a load capacity rated to more than 1,000kg. Otherwise, standard components are used throughout -- including kingpins, bushings, decks, wheels and bearings -- for simpler production and a higher quality finished product. It comes with a white chassis and maple deck or black chassis with combination maple and fiberglass deck.
