The inexpensive kick scooter rack for schools and public grounds
Kick scooters are used everywhere and are established as a simple way of transportation for kids, youngsters and adults. The difficulty in providing an adequately functional, shapely and inexpensive parking solution which is easily used by all age groups is unsolved until now. With its distinct graphical appearance, KickboardZ elegantly conforms to all these requirements and confidently blends into all environments.
Forget the challenging folding and hanging of the scooter with KickboardZ: Just slide the scooter into the rack and secure with a bike lock if necessary. KickboardZ is made out of 3mm thick stainless steel. It is very robust and simply mounted in different ways.

Where does a product designer get his ideas from? From new materials that encourage challenging new applications. From new production techniques that make the previously unthinkable possible. And by observing everyday life manifesting unsatisfied needs. It is in this arena that Zurich designer Beat Karrer together with his team develops new products which resound favourably with his renowned clientele such as Anthologie Quartett, Ballfinger and Designerslabel (Germany), Boffi and Corian/DuPont (Italy), Offecct (Sweden), Burri, Röthlisberger, Kidsmodern and Tossa (Switzerland) or TossB (Belgium). As well as among the juries of international competitions in Belgium, Germany, Spain and Switzerland that awarded Beat Karrer with several prizes for his designs which often are unusual in their approach yet very functional and practical in their daily application. Nowadays Beat Karrer is also an active visiting teacher, lectures all over Europe, participates in juries and leads workshops for example for the Vitra Design Museum. Beat Karrer's ideas have appeared in many publications and various books.
