Let’s face it — kickbikes (or stunt scooters, if we’re being proper) aren’t just for little kids anymore. Over the last few years, they’ve carved out a legit space in skateparks, on city streets, and in just about every suburban driveway across Sweden. The scene is buzzing. And right now, there’s one model in particular catching attention from both newcomers and seasoned tricksters alike — the NKD Rally V4.


Design That Means Business

The Rally V4 isn’t just another toy-store scooter. NKD has clearly taken cues from the pro scene, with a sleek, purpose-built frame that looks just as good parked at the skatepark as it does mid-whip on a quarterpipe.

The V4 features a heat-treated aluminum deck paired with a steel bar setup, giving it a solid feel without making it overly heavy — perfect for younger riders (target age: 5–15) who still need manageable weight without sacrificing durability. The finish is clean and aggressive, especially in the darker colorways.


Performance and Ride Feel

This thing is built for tricks, and it shows. It comes equipped with an HIC compression system — something you’d expect on more advanced scooters. That makes barspins, tailwhips, and manuals feel noticeably smoother, and the clamp system feels sturdy even after multiple hard landings.

The 110mm wheels are a sweet spot for street and park, offering a nice balance between speed and shock absorption. If you’re coming from a budget scooter or even an earlier Rally version, the difference is instantly noticeable.

Who’s It For?

The NKD Rally V4 hits a nice middle ground. It’s clearly aimed at kids and younger teens who are getting serious about stunt scootering, but it’s also approachable enough for complete beginners who want to start with something decent instead of wasting money on a throwaway model.

If you’re an adult or a more advanced rider, this might feel a bit under-specced — but honestly, it’s not trying to be a high-end pro model. It’s a great entry-to-intermediate option, and for its price (around 1399 SEK at time of writing), it delivers a ton of value.


Final Thoughts

The kickbike trend shows no signs of slowing down, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s accessible, fun, and surprisingly technical — especially once you dig into the stunt scene. And with models like the NKD Rally V4 hitting the market, it’s easier than ever to get started with quality gear that won’t fall apart after a week of use.

Pros:

  • Solid build quality for the price
  • HIC compression — rare in this segment
  • Light enough for younger riders
  • Great looks, park-ready design

Cons:

  • Not ideal for full-grown riders
  • Limited color choices compared to some competitors

If you’ve got a young shredder at home — or if you’re just kickbike-curious yourself — the Rally V4 is a solid entry point that punches well above its weight class.
