Gold Sports & Mobility: What Actually Works vs What’s Only Built to Display

24K Gold Men's Racing Bike, a fully functional gold-plated bicycle

Leronza’s gold sports and mobility pieces split into two genuinely different categories nobody’s covered here before: a tennis racket and badminton set that are gold-plated trophies you’re not meant to play with, and a racing bike and Segway that are fully functional vehicles you actually can ride. Confusing the two before ordering would be a real mistake, so here’s exactly which is which.

The Trophies: Gold Tennis Racket & Badminton Set

24K Gold Tennis Racket

$ 4,890

A full-size racket with the frame, throat, and string bed all finished in 24K gold, rose gold, or platinum at one price. Edition-numbered, with optional engraving of a name, score, or title.

24K Gold Badminton Set

$ 4,890

A full-size racket and matching shuttlecock finished the same way, capped with a gold medallion engraved with the GoldPrivé emblem.

These are genuinely not playable. Leronza’s own listing is direct about it: a finished string bed carrying gold plating won’t hold playing tension, so both pieces are built to be displayed, hung, or presented — not swung. If you want something you can actually play with, these aren’t it.

Why That’s Actually the Point

Leronza frames both pieces as an alternative to “the same engraved cup year after year” — a corporate award or achievement gift shaped like the sport instead of a generic trophy. The tennis racket carries its own edition number so a presented piece is traceable rather than just another gold object, and engraving is quoted individually through Leronza’s personalization process. Both pieces are listed alongside Leronza’s corporate gifting collection, not its sporting goods.

The Vehicles: Gold Racing Bike & Segway

24K Gold Men’s Racing Bike

Price on request

A complete, functional road bike — frame, forks, stem, bars, rims, spokes, cranks, chainrings, and every link of the chain — disassembled and finished piece by piece, then rebuilt. Gears shift and disc brakes work.

24K Gold Segway

Price on request

A genuine Ninebot KickScooter, plated in 24K gold, rose gold, or platinum with simulated diamonds along the stem, forks, and deck. The 300W motor, brakes, and lights all still work, and it still folds for one-handed carrying.

Unlike the sports trophies, both vehicles are described as fully working machines — Leronza’s own copy notes that “almost every one is kept indoors” for the bike, which is a candid way of saying most buyers display these rather than ride them daily, even though they genuinely could.

Why the Vehicles Don’t List a Fixed Price

Both the bike and the Segway are made to order in Dubai from a specific donor vehicle, disassembled and finished component by component — a build with more real labor and material variance than a flat-priced trophy piece, which is why Leronza quotes these individually rather than listing a fixed number. Anyone seriously considering either should contact Leronza directly with the donor bike or scooter model in mind.

Who Actually Buys Each

The Corporate Awards Buyer

The tennis racket or badminton set — for a club, sponsor, or company wanting a genuine trophy shaped like the sport rather than a generic engraved cup.

The Statement-Piece Collector

The bike or Segway — for someone who wants a real, working gold-plated vehicle as a display piece with the option to actually use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I actually play tennis or badminton with these?

No. Leronza states directly that a gold-plated string bed won’t hold playing tension — both pieces are built to be displayed or presented, not played with.

Does the gold racing bike actually work?

Yes. It’s built from a real road bike, fully reassembled with working gears and disc brakes, though Leronza notes most buyers keep it indoors as a display piece.

Is the gold Segway a real, functional Segway?

Yes — it starts as a genuine Ninebot KickScooter powered by Segway, and the motor, brakes, and lights all remain functional after plating.

Why don’t the bike and Segway have a listed price?

Both are made to order from a specific donor vehicle with real build variance, so Leronza quotes them individually rather than listing a fixed price.

Can the tennis racket be engraved with a name or score?

Yes — engraving is available and quoted individually through Leronza’s personalization process, and each racket carries its own edition number.

Two categories, four products, and a real functional split worth knowing before you order: the sports pieces are trophies built to be seen, the mobility pieces are machines built to be used — both genuinely gold-plated, just for different purposes.
