About VELOGYM
Full-body fitness with riding fun & adventure? No problem with VELOGYM! Our assumption has been confirmed: many people prefer sports and fitness in the fresh air over indoor training. VELOGYM combines the many benefits of cycling with balanced full-body training. To achieve this, we developed a highly efficient and ergonomically optimized push-pull drive for arms and upper body that simultaneously enables precise and intuitive steering. A first patent has been filed, a second is in preparation. The initial prototype has been tested thousands of times, three near-series models are on the verge of completion. Production is handled by a high-end partner company in Baden-Württemberg. We address two high-growth markets: outdoor fitness and rehabilitation. Pre-orders worth approximately €100,000, achieved with virtually no marketing budget, show us that VELOGYM is meeting a need. We generated our first revenue in November 2024. With a sophisticated and successful bootstrapping strategy, including cross-financing through another of our own projects and excellent support from TUM and LMU, we have come a long way. To accelerate development, testing, and production – toward launching the first series in spring 2026, we are now looking for business angels and strategic partners.
