Frequently Asked Questions About Pogo Sticks
What is the best pogo stick for kids?
The best pogo stick for kids is one that is light, sturdy and safe. Models with short travel, non-slip footplates and soft grips are ideal. Think of brands like Qu-Ax or TK8, which are specially built for kids aged 5 and up.
Can I pogo jump as an adult?
Sure! There are specially developed pogo sticks for adults, with higher carrying capacity and longer spring travel. For example, choose a model with air suspension such as the Vurtego V4 Pro - adjustable to your weight and style. Also perfect if you already have experience with trampoline or parkour.
What is the difference between a spring and air pogo stick?
A spring-loaded pogo stick uses a steel spring: simple, maintenance-free and ideal for beginners. Air-pressure pogo sticks (such as those from Vurtego) have an air chamber that you can adjust yourself. These give you more height, more control and are perfect for stunts or sports use.
