Our story
The business was founded in 2018 when George brought a few pieces for himself and a group of friends to see if Perth was suitable for scooters.
He found that Perth was the best destination for scooter riding. There are quality, endless cycle paths with minimal hills, and hills and terrain for more demanding riders in the surrounding area.
In 2020, George bought out the representation for the whole of Australia, expanding his business outside of Western Australia. That same year, he met Regina at a random event, and she immediately fell in love with scooters. They agreed to work together, and since then they have been trying to raise awareness of a product that they both still believe is unique and has its place in the market.
Along with the representation of the Kostka company, they also took over the representation of the Manmat company. Both companies originate from the Czech Republic and work closely there. Even here in Australia, the collaboration has proven to be excellent. To our surprise, the community of dog sports lovers here is unusually large and due to the lack of snow :-) the scooter is a great substitute for a sled for mushing in Australia.
Our philosophy
Footbikes are for everyone, regardless of age, gender, fitness level or sporting ability.
Footbiking is all about movement and a healthy lifestyle. We discovered the benefits of Footbiking in adulthood and it has become our passion. Every day we see the benefits it brings us. Our philosophy is we want people to move as often as possible, healthily and without any restrictions. So we’re spreading the word all across Australia that a Footbike is not just a toy for children, but a full-fledged means of exercise, and a serious fitness support as well as being a source of entertainment and pleasure. For us, our biggest reward is hearing from customers who may not have the talent for other sports, or whose health condition does not allow them to do sports as they used to who have found a way to better health through Footbiking. Good fitness is the basis for a healthy mind, and a happy, well balanced life - things that we believe everyone deserves. Footbiking is the perfect way to start you rolling along that path.
