Today’s invention is a combination of two old favourites -the pogo stick and the skipping rope.
The rope is replaced by a rigid hoop, the ends of which are attached to the pogo stick’s handlebars and which are driven overhead by a small motor.
The direction and speed of the motor can be determined by the user or set to operate randomly, so that the user is challenged to jump the stick over the rope -and thus improve their fitness and coordination.
