Blauwerk was founded was founded 1993 by Dr. Walter Steindlegger to introduce
a new urban transportation mean for all generations. Together with an architect
and a product designer the first prototypes have been developed, causing overwhelming
reactions in the market. The scooters were published in special interest media
all over the world and were awarded for their design. This includes two Austrian
State Awards for Ecological-Design and Design. The German quality designation
"Proved Security" shows how closely Blauwerk watches quality and security criteria.
The latest success was a co-operation with the Philipp Starck, who chose the
Side-walker Cruiser for his new catalogue (Good Goods by Stack).
