Spring bolt locks by itself when the board opens flat.

These are design targets for the first prototype. They will be measured on real boards before anything ships.

Why it feels good

It locks itself.

  • Click-lock

    A spring bolt snaps across the seam the moment the board opens flat, like the lock on a folding knife. You hear it. Squeeze the teal trigger to let go.

  • Flush hinge

    The hinge is 16 mm tall and sits flat against the underside. Nothing hangs down, so nothing scrapes.

  • Wheels ride inside

    Clips, not nuts. The wheels come off by hand and lie flat between the decks, and magnets hold the pack shut.

The inventor

Designed by Bodhi.

Bodhi wanted a normal skateboard that didn't have to be carried around all day. Mini boards ride like mini boards. So he drew one that rides full size and packs to half.

His rules for the design: regular deck, the hinge stays hidden, and it has to lock so it feels like one solid board.
