Xootr

One defining feature of Xootr scooters is the relatively large wheels they are equipped with, as well as the hinge system, which uses a pin.

[2] Xootr began when Karl Ulrich, Nathan Ulrich, and Tom Miner (along with partners, Lunar Design and Cheskin Research, and several other investors) founded Nova Cruz Products.

[3] Nova Cruz designed, manufactured, and sold the Xootr kick scooter.

The Swift Folder is a folding bicycle designed by Peter Reich of Design Mobility Inc. of Brooklyn, New York, in collaboration with Jan VanderTuin of the Center for Appropriate Transport in Eugene, Oregon.

[citation needed] Teams using Xootr wheels with a custom rubber formulation won the top three places at the All-American Soap Box Derby Ultimate Speed championships in July 2008.
