HEX
A compact skateboard designed with portability, forward-focused handling, and refined everyday form.
FORWARDFOCUSED.
A Japan-born mini cruiser designed for cruising, portability, usability, and everyday form. Its one-way wheel structure is intended to reduce backward roll during basic pushing.
Forward-focused.
A patent-pending structure designed to reduce backward roll. Basic cruising may feel more controlled depending on rider skill, setup, and surface conditions.
Short trips, lighter.
HEX is designed for short neighborhood rides, weekend outings, and everyday carry.
Portable, with a wider stance.
A wider deck and 22-inch-class mini-cruiser handling are brought together in a compact form.
Forward-focused.
Make short trips
feel lighter.
HEX is designed to fit into short trips, everyday outings, and carry-friendly routines.
SIX
REASONS
Designed
for cruising
A wider deck and patent-pending one-way structure are designed to reduce backward roll and help basic cruising feel more controlled.
Why are skateboards
so hard to ride?
The challenge of moving both ways.
It starts with the skateboard's basic forward-and-backward motion. Shift your weight forward and the board can roll backward; shift it back and the board can move forward. That makes even standing on the deck feel difficult for beginners.
Forward-focused wheel movement.
HEX uses a wheel structure designed to reduce backward roll (patent pending). During basic pushing, this may help riders keep a more balanced stance. Ride feel varies by rider, setup, and surface conditions.
Portability
meets rideability
HEX brings a wider compact deck and the wheelbase of a portable 22-inch-class mini cruiser into one board.
A detail for
foot placement
The deck features pivot pins inspired by tactile paving. They are designed to help your foot rotate smoothly and make foot placement easier to feel.
Smoother feel
on everyday pavement
A handle at the center of gravity makes HEX easy to carry. Large soft wheels (70 mm diameter / 78A durometer) are designed to help absorb surface vibration on everyday pavement.
From Street to Urban
A clean form designed specifically for short-distance cruising. It fits naturally into everyday city scenes.
Simple by design.
Made for everyday scenes.
Built for
daily use
HEX uses a honeycomb structure, a form also used in aircraft and architecture, to help balance strength and reduced weight. The deck uses engineering plastic selected for everyday outdoor use.
Load-tested structure
Structural analysis and prototyping informed the final form. Load capacity depends on use conditions and maintenance.
Water-resistant material for outdoor days
Engineering resin is selected for water resistance during everyday outdoor use.
Avoid prolonged water exposure. Water resistance does not mean protection against all damage or rust.
Considered for
shared spaces
The honeycomb structure is designed to help reduce riding noise, while the one-way function is intended to reduce unexpected backward roll. Always ride responsibly, use appropriate protective gear, and follow local rules.
Functionality and ride feel may vary by rider, setup, surface, and conditions.

Early supporter voices
Selected comments from customers who backed HEX through crowdfunding. Individual experiences vary.
Compared with other mini cruisers I have tried, HEX felt more stable and comfortable to me.
Male, 30s
This was my first mini cruiser. For me, it felt stable and approachable, and riding it was a good workout.
Male, 40s
I like the design and function, so I carry it often. It fits in my backpack, which helps a lot.
Male, 30s
I was surprised by how quiet it felt. I often cruise at night to feel the breeze, so lower perceived noise is a big plus for me.
