RollerSafe AS company profile

RollerSafe is invented in Norway, designed to meet the rough and steep conditions roller skiers face in the Norwegian landscape. Originally, the idea back in 1999 was to improve brakes for roller skates. However, the lack of functional and efficient brakes for roller skis made this an evident gap to fill. Roller skiing is an increasingly popular exercise around the world, both among kids, younger athletes and less-experienced users. RollerSafe aims to improve safety and expand areas of use by introducing a technology truly different from anything in the market today. The development process started 2010, with initial sketches and drawings, prototypes, testing, redesign and finally into commercial production. All development is done in RollerSafe’s head quarter in Son, Norway, with design studio, advanced test facilities, showroom and warehouse. Custom designed test rigs are developed for life-time and stress tests of material tolerance, technology optimisation etc. The lab-tests are supported by extensive testing on the road. Integrating hydraulic disc brakes into roller skis require complete redesign of the entire ski. Issues to be solved are balance, weight, brake effect, communication between ski and remote control, as well as user interaction. RollerSafe has filed for patents (PCT) for the unique technology, including a series of possible smart applications arising from the electronic platform developed in the ski and remote. …And the story continues; The RollerSafe team has just started on an exiting journey. Our ambition is to continue adding safety and smartness to rolling sports and mobility equipment.
