Pogo Sticks

There are models for children as young as 5 and advanced pogo sticks for teens and adults. Check the manufacturer’s weight and age recommendations—many adult sticks can support up to 80–90 kg.

Choose a pogo stick with non‑slip foot pegs, a sturdy spring mechanism and padded handlebars to protect against impacts. Some models include rubber tips or stoppers at the bottom to improve grip.

The handle height should come up to the rider’s hips for proper leverage. A stick that’s too tall or short can make balancing difficult and reduce control.

A pogo stick uses a spring or elastic band housed inside a cylinder. When the user jumps down, the spring compresses and then rebounds, propelling the rider upward. Advanced sticks use powerful springs capable of high jumps and tricks.

Yes. They improve balance, coordination and leg strength. Jumping on a pogo stick can also boost cardiovascular fitness and burn calories, making it a playful workout.

Start on a flat surface with plenty of open space. Hold the handlebars, step on the foot pegs and practise gentle bouncing to get a feel for the spring. Gradually increase bounce height and always wear protective gear such as helmets and wrist guards.

Advanced riders can perform jumps, spins and no‑handed bounces. Adult pogo sticks support more weight and higher jumps, enabling skilled users to incorporate flips and stunts.

Check that the spring mechanism remains lubricated and free of debris. Inspect the rubber foot pegs for wear and replace them if they become slick. Store your pogo stick indoors to protect it from moisture and extreme temperatures.
