Development Update: From Prototype to Production
A Message from Founder Robin Macan:
Hello, ataraxy Community!
I want to share a critical update on our journey to bring the vabsRider to life. After our concept went viral, the global demand was overwhelming. While we initially planned for an earlier launch, our commitment to engineering perfection has required a rigorous phase of testing and refinement.
The Engineering Phase: Precision & Testing
Bringing a mechanical innovation like the vabsRider to mass production requires an obsession with detail. We are currently in the final stages of engineering, which involves:
- Rigorous Durability Testing: Ensuring the split-saddle mechanism withstands years of use.
- Pressure Mapping Trials: Using scientific data to refine the seat pad density for maximum comfort.
- Safety Compliance:Meeting international durability standards.
The vabsRider is not a static object; it is a moving machine. Every part must work in harmony with the rider's body.
Why We Chose Kickstarter
Launching on Kickstarter allowed us to invite you into the process. The campaign wasn't just about funding; it was about building a community of early adopters who understand that true innovation takes time.
What This Means for Backers
- Exclusive Access: Backers receive the very first units from the production line.
- Bulk Opportunities: We opened tiers for cycling businesses to become early distributors.
It Will Be Worth the Wait
The vabsRider has been 10 years in the making. We are as eager as you are to get it "under your bum," but we will not compromise on quality. Thank you for sticking with us — we promise to deliver the happiness of comfortable cycling.
