Add Kickbike / Footbike

[IRvanderveen]

Hello,

I would kindly request to ad the sport: "kickbiking"

The activity level of this sport is somewhere in between running and cycling and right now it is very hard to use data from a training because I'm forced the use a different 'sport type'.

Kickbiking is a sport with a huge community all over the world and even has it own championships.

I speak for many when I say: 

"Please, ad 'kickbiking' as a sport type"

Kind regards, 

Ilse van der Veen

(Check out this very cool looking kickbike!)

I tried to set scooter/footbike as an activity in my Strava - only to realize that it’s not there… 🤯 Pretty please, add it as an activity type! 🛴

P.S. @IRvanderveen do you think you could adjust the name (title) of your idea to include also the names footbike / scooter? So that it’s easier to recognize by international users who could potentially add more votes (from what I understand, “kickbike” is a brand name, I’ve personally never heard of them… and was initially looking for footbike or scooter)

[gparlagh]

You mean "scooter".

There are so many riders who are experiencing lack of sych type of activity. We are not cyclists! 

Please add new category at last. Stop voting, here we are, lots of us all over the world.

Any updates? We still need this.

Since there is still ongoing voting - what are next steps? E.g., how many votes are needed to proceed with this feature? Thanks.

If there were a foot bike category, it would be worth it to become a paying member. Not really interested in connecting with cyclists. That’s a completely different sport. Thanks!

Hello and thank you to everyone who has taken the time to add your votes and comments to this request. 

We want to let you know that we do not intend to add more activity/sport types to Strava in the foreseeable future, and this feature suggestion will be moved to a status of not currently planned.

We appreciate and understand this is not the answer you were hoping for. We strive to be as transparent as possible and provide updates to our Community when they become available. 

Please remember that we receive a large number of idea submissions, and even some  popular ideas may not make it to the implementation stage. The number of votes an idea gets is one factor among several that’s considered when our product team develops the roadmap.

For more information, review our Guide to Ideas.

Additionally, a status of not currently planned does not mean this feature suggestion goes away. It will remain open to votes and comments, and may be revisited at some point in the future.

Lastly, we sincerely hope you will continue recording and uploading your activities to Strava. Here is a list of the Sport types that we currently support. It’s always an option to set your activity to sport type “workout” and indicate more specifics in the activity name.

Thanks again for your contributions.

Super disappointed 😞

Hello,

what a pitty, but of course, it's Strava's decision.

Just a few thoughts:

• for a sake of transparency, as mentioned, how many votes would be needed to add this sport?
• the suggestion to add this sport as "workout" almost indicates to me that the author didn't even notice what this sport is about (we would like to distiguish a new sport footbike/kickbike in Cycle Sports with the categories Ride, Mountain Bike Ride, Gravel Ride, E-Bike Ride, E-Mountain Bike Ride, Velomobile, Virtual Ride, since none of them is close enough)
• I am not sure how to compare the size and growth of this sport worldwide for example compared to Velomobile or Handcycle, which are both supported in Strava. Anyone wants to take a try? (at the same time, with not knowing what would be needed to support the sport, why bother...)

[SteveD]

Very disappointing decision and the "why" is not really explained.

This makes Strava less interesting, no need to pay for this level of sport features.

Just sad.

Thanx everyone for the help to make this happen. 

[RickDawson]

Disappointed.

Kicking is different to pedalling... totally different speed range obtained.

Hence the need for a kick bike/scooter category.

Add kick Scooter! Its a regular sport discipline!
