RUFUS

If you want to improve your fitness by running and find your optimum pace, you should get to know RUFUS – an electrically driven vehicle that offers an outdoor training programme customised to your fitness level. Dr. Erwin Prassler has been an amateur triathlete for 15 years. Nevertheless, he used to be one of those runners who has difficulty estimating their own limits and power. “Without the help of a trainer, I tend to run too fast and end up feeling exhausted quite quickly,” Dr. Prassler says. One day, he came up with an idea while running with his daughter’s pram. Why not fit the pram with a couple of electric motors? He wanted to control these motors so that he could run with a steady pulse and at a pace his body was ready for. And so the idea for RUFUS was born.
