Abstract
A more stable pogo stick device, which may or may not be steerable, employs multiple spring legs, at least one of which can have an alterable spring rate. To steer in a direction, the alterable spring rate is employed, whereupon the pogo will move in the direction of the softer spring. Further, a pogo stick with enhanced stability and safety is provided by employing multiple, vertical springing legs. A pogo with enhanced stability and widened foot platform provides the ability for a single rider to perform tricks and/or to allow multiple riders to jump together at the same time.
Claims25
A steerable pogo device comprising:
- a first leg having a first substantially fixed spring rate;
- and
- a second leg having a variable spring rate for enabling steering.
A pogo device comprising:
- at least two independent suspension legs, wherein said legs are substantially vertical in orientation to provide for enhanced stability.
A pogo with a boost mechanism, mechanical or pneumatic, to either preload a spring or pump up a cylinder to allow the rider to actuate it after charging for a “boost” in vertical jumping.
