Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0027489A1] The invention relates to a travel device, such as a skateboard or a scooter and similar, comprising two running gears (2, 3), each of which has at least one wheel (6), and at least one of said running gears (2, 3) being steerable. According to the invention, a foot-board (1) is provided, connecting the two running gears (2, 3). Said foot-board is elastically deformable and has a spring rate in the range of 0.03 to 0.25 mm/kg. The foot-board (1) is detachably connected to the running gears (2, 3). Several foot-boards (1) with different, progressive spring rates are provided so that the travel device can be adapted to the different requirements of different users. The individual foot boards (1) are characterised by different dimensions and/or different materials. Reinforcement struts can also be introduced into the foot board (1). Running gears (2, 3) with different constructions and functioning modes can be combined with foot boards (1) of this type. The invention therefore provides a means of adapting a travel device to the user's requirements in terms of the quality of movement, especially the spring system.
