PUMGO is the first human powered push
free skateboard that can fully using human energy to drive it.
Rider can drive and steer PUMGO by both feet being on
the board. PUMGO gives rider a strong feeling as if
they were surfing on land. PUMGO has combined the fun
of skateboard and bicycle.
Users need to be ages 7 and up, no skateboarding experience
needed.
How Does the PUMGO Work?
Its patented 4-Wheel-Drive and all-wheel steering system allow
the rider to drive the vehicle forward with a simple pumping
motion, similar to a seesaw. Rider shifts weight from the
front of the board to the rear and then from rear to front,
repeat this simple back-and-forth pumping action generating
the deck’s seesaw movement to propel the board forward.
Adjustable steering and a detachable brake give the riders the
freedom to customize PUMGO to create a perfect fit. Not
only kids 7 years and up can enjoy PUMGO, but parents
can join in on the action as well. PUMGO is easy to learn
because it only goes forward. Most riders never skate before
can learn how to ride PUMGO within 5 minutes.
How to Ride
It’s quite easy and most people learn in about 5 minutes. Kids
learn almost instantly.
Here’s how to ride:
1. Find a flat and smooth place to ride that is free of
traffic or other hazards.
2. Put your front foot on the front part of the board above
the front wheels. The arrow on the deck points toward the
front.
3. Put your back foot on the board over the back wheels. Use
wall or a friend to steady yourself at first.
4. Push down on the front of the board and then rear of the
board to get it rolling
5. Once you are rolling push you can pump both ends of board
evenly (like a see-saw) to build up speed.
6. The faster you pump the faster it goes
There are two ways to turn the PUMGO:
1. Heel & Toe Steering: to turn toward your heel
side, put more weight on you heels. To turn toward your toe
side, put more weight on you toes. You can loose the four
steering screws to make very easy and sharp turns.
2. Kick turns: This is a more advanced way of turning
the board and requires you to remove the brake. To kick
turn, lift your front foot until the front wheels come off
the ground. Keeping your front foot on the board, swing your
front leg in the direction you want to turn the board.
Riding PUMGO Is More than Just Fun
According fitness specialists, the PUMGO is all about
working the core. Just balancing alone on the PUMGO
works your core strength, because you have to distribute
weight from one foot to the other while staying relatively
centered with your upper body which means your abs have to
fire every time to stabilize your torso. The legs benefit the
most from the PUMGO workout, but the PUMGO will
also work your gluts, the four quadriceps muscles, your
hamstrings, and you even get a calf work out. Riding PUMGO
is a great way of losing weight, building muscle, toning your
entire body.
On The News:
PUMGO has caught the eye of many media sources
including CBS News, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Time
Magazine for Kids, Washington Post, Washington Times, Boys’
Life magazine, and Sports Illustrated for Kids.
More to Come:
We have developed a PUMGO practice station to assist
with in-store demonstrations as well as converting PUMGO
to an indoor exercise device similar to the stepper. With the
development of the practice station, the PUMGO has been
inspired to promote a great indoor workout along with the
enjoyment of being outdoors.
Small and light Mini PUMGO for kids 5 to 10 years old
will come very soon.
