Envy Scooters is an Australian company that specializes in
creating high-performance parts as well as complete scooter packages. Previously
known as Blunt Envy or Blunt Scooters, this company prides itself on designing
most of its parts in-house with the support of staff with industry experience
and first-hand knowledge of skating, scooting, and biking. Envy Scooters offers
a number of unique design features, including extra-wide decks, metal-core
wheels made from an advanced-formula polyurethane, and an Integrated Headset
Compression (IHC) system that provides a threadless fork that can accommodate
standard-sized bars.
Extra Wide Decks
Envy's extra-wide decks are made from the same
high-performance chromoly ("Chro-mo") and aluminum metals used in
professional-grade BMX bikes. Wide decks give riders plenty of room to get a
comfortable stance and good grip that can make riding easier and tricks
smoother.
High-Performance Polyurethane
Envy also offers metal core wheels that are fully compatible
with forks and decks from other manufacturers. These wheels are composed of a
proprietary urethane compound that provides extra grip and durability.
Internal Compression Fork
Envy has developed a threadless compression system in which
a narrow fork column allows standard-sized bars to fit onto the compression
shim. While many scooters still employ threaded forks, compression systems
offer a stronger fit that will not become wobbly over time. Threaded systems
are prone to loosen as the scooter is used, requiring the rider to make
frequent adjustments in order to maintain optimal stability. Envy's uses a
system known as an Integrated Headset Compression, or IHC. This system differs
from other threadless designs, such as Hidden Internal Compression System
(HIC), in that it do not require the use of oversized bars. This is a unique
advantage for riders who would rather avoid oversized bars that can add extra weight
and interfere with free movement.
Whether you are a serious hobbyist or a seasoned
professional, Envy Scooters offers a few unique design features for those
looking to get just the right balance of equipment for a perfect ride.
