Vurtego
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vurtego is a variation of the traditional pogo stick.
The Vurtego pogo forfeits the traditional spring design in exchange for a patented air spring system. The air spring allows riders to reach great heights without the requirement of a heavy spring or elastomeric bands, which degrade over time. The Vurtego weighs under 11 pounds (5 kg) yet is capable of producing 1500 pounds-force (8,000 newtons) of thrust. The Vurtego allows riders to propel themselves as high as 7'7" (2.3 m) into the air with head heights reaching in excess of 12 feet (3.7 m).
Vurtego has recently released a new version of the Vurtego, the 'V2.' The V2 is almost the exact same as the V1, except the shaft is rotated 45 degrees, adding strength. The pegs are also larger and curved a bit at the bottom.
