About Kjøring

An old winter sport, done with help of animals.

It's something between skiing and sledding.

In Norwegian, “kjøring” means “driving”.

Today, it's run using dogs, horses, or motorized.

And some on roller skate shoes or boards.

Got a capable tug?

Of course, a biological transporter is more intelligent, but can it do more than a robotic tug?

The answer is obvious: it's yes!

But if you can't afford a nice one (usually a sibling), just get yourself an electric transporter.

A solution for all-seasons

Summertime joring is now possible, since we designed a vehicle just for that.

Simply put on your roller skates and drive off with your electric transporter.

How we took care of things

  • Safety

    99% of riders are riding within the vehicle space.

    You will be the 1% that's not.

  • Health

    Electric rides are all good and green.

    But are they pro-health too?

  • Fun

    "Not to be done, if ain't fun!"

    Because of the obvious.

Race Horse vs. Work Horse

Priority: Speed or Power?

Whether you need a tug for a fast-paced exercise, for commute to work, school, or purely for fun on a bike path in a park, we've got you covered and we have a model for your preferred activity.

Design. Improve. Repeat.

Joring is an amazing experience and a great feeling, unlike any other ride.

We envisioned a vehicle to allow doing this exciting sport easier, safer, and anytime.

Several prototypes were made and tried on different road types, asphalt, concrete and sand.

The design was steadily improved to resolve multitude of issues noticed during the tests.

Finally, the perfect designs were achieved.

Goal #1

A Simple Rule:
“If it can't be driven safely, it shouldn't be."

  • Peaceful Ride with Stabilized State of Balance

Today's common personal transporters have either two wheels or only one, meaning the number of points that are in contact with the road surface is either 2 or less, which cannot provide a stable state of balance.

Our design, although has one wheel, produces a ride with a total of 3 points of contact with the road when combined with the 2 legs of the rider wearing the skates, forming a tripod-like structure resulting in a stable state of balance and prevents falling accidents, because the rider can continuously leverage on the handle to keep balance.

  • Moving the Rider out of the Vehicle Space

Vehicle space is the area enclosing a vehicle, from the front to the rear, and side to side.

Today, in 99% of common personal transporters, the rider is located either between the wheels (for example, a bike), or located directly on top of the wheels axle (of a hoverboard, Segway, or mono-wheel), meaning the rider is always present within the vehicle space during the ride.

The rider being within the vehicle space is pretty risky, considering the fact that any impact to the vehicle will be directly transferred to the rider.

To address this issue, our design puts the rider far behind the transporter, completely outside the vehicle space, in a safe zone properly distanced from the vehicle.

Therefore, any impact to the vehicle will not affect the rider, who can also separate from the vehicle quickly if needed, simply by releasing the steering handle.

Goal #2

Is there a relation between obesity and the new generation of personal transporters? Do you get enough physical activity and burn enough calories when riding an electric transporter?

Although electric vehicles are clean and good for the environment, using them does not necessarily improve the health of riders; in fact they could do the opposite.

Few years back, skateboarding or riding a bicycle was a good way of exercise by pedalling, but since becoming motorized, they have reduced the rider's physical activity, almost to none.

Some transporters (like hoverboards) are even moving the riders away from basic activities such as walking, and the good activity of pedalling is replaced by some minimal movements such as leaning forward.

Our goal was to design a vehicle that would be an “aid" and does not relieve the rider of doing necessary physical activities, so the rider can participate adequately.

That still requires the rider's interaction with the transporter, while allowing the rider to perform more with the same amount of energy, going a longer distance and getting to the destination faster, while still burning enough calories. 

Goal #3

Joring is an exciting sport that allows the rider on roller skates being tugged and pulled in a controlled manner, going fast or slow, and experience new body movements in respond to the vehicle behavior, and is pure fun.

The experience is very different from other sports because the rider is placed far behind the wheel where there is enough space on the sides, allowing the rider to maneuver independently and have the freedom of moving to the left and right or perform zigzag and even dance while being pulled forward.
