Allrover Stair-Rover Longboard
The Allrover skateboard, better known as the Stair-Rover, is the rare longboard built to ride down stairs as easily as it cruises pavement. After a three-year development stage, the London-born Allrover team replaced the usual four wheels with eight and a patented V-frame suspension, turning curbs, cobblestones, and staircases into part of the ride rather than obstacles to avoid.
How does the Stair-Rover ride down stairs?
The secret is the eight-wheel layout paired with the ingenious V-frame design and built-in shock absorbers. The eight wheels move up and down independently, conforming to the shape of each step so the deck stays level while the chassis soaks up the impact. This greatly reduces the shock transmitted to the rider's feet, guaranteeing a smooth ride even when skating down a flight of stairs. The 60mm 80a high-rebound wheels are mounted to heavy-duty V-frames built, as the official Allrover site details, from nylon and fiberglass around an aluminum core.
What is the Stair-Rover made of?
Built out of engineered thermoplastic, the chassis withstands substantial shock across any kind of rough terrain. The unique configuration of eight wheels and V-frame connections lets the board glide effortlessly through any urban environment. The deck is ply maple wood with an integrated carry handle, so moving the nine-pound board between rides is easy. As Cool Material noted, the result is a true city-surfing machine rather than a novelty.
Why the Stair-Rover stands out among longboards
Most longboards force riders to step off at every staircase. The Stair-Rover removes that limit, which is exactly why it became one of the most successful skateboard crowdfunding campaigns ever, breaking records across Asia and the global skate category. For anyone who treats the whole city as a skate spot, this stair-climbing skateboard remains a one-of-a-kind ride.
