Sport and Fitness

At outerspace we understand how sport and fitness connects people and how it makes them look and feel well and healthy.

When people are fit they feel better about themselves and are likely to live longer. We develop fitness products and systems to help people achieve their fitness goals. We work with our clients to develop sports and fitness products to provide people with the motivation and discipline to exercise.

We engineer and develop connected products to help people track their progress, to give people feedback on their progress, and to aid training programs. Fitness products need to be robust. They need to be impact and water resistant, sometimes waterproof. We have a deep understanding of human biomechanics and understand that fitness products need to be safe and robust for people who like to push beyond their physical limits. 

outerspace has years of experience in the development of ruggedised and wearable devices for sport. We know sports products also need to look good, and be comfortable to wear. Wearables are like extensions of the body. They need to be adjustable, fashionable, functional and lightweight.

Industry jett

We understand the important details required for sports product development,  such as the use of biocompatible materials and the product safety aspects of mechanical, electronic and firmware components. Whether we are developing products for home or gym use, fitness products need to be easy to store and maintain.

Touch activated spin and touring bike

A developer of interactive fitness equipment with integrated gaming software, needed to develop a new combination spin and exercise bike for the boutique gymnasium and home gym markets.

They wanted to develop a never-seen-before bike that had two distinct modes of operation – spin and exercise bike mode to be housed in one hardware system, operated by a touch screen and supported by their software.

EV docking and charging system

Microfleet set out to create OneDock, a secure EV docking, charging and locking system for shared-use electric vehicles, including bikes, trikes, and scooters, designed for installation in public spaces. Unlike existing micromobility docks, OneDock needed to be durable, connected, and easy to use, providing reliable charging and locking in all weather conditions while integrating seamlessly with fleet management networks.

Outerspace partnered with Microfleet from early development through to late alpha deployment. Our multidisciplinary team delivered mechanical, electronic, firmware, and industrial design, working alongside Microfleet’s software and business teams to shape a scalable, field-ready product. The result is a smart public infrastructure system that enables secure parking, charging, and data-driven fleet operation for next-generation electric mobility.

Urban electric bike

Joybold set out to design an Urban electric bike for the American market, where cycling is rapidly gaining traction as cities adapt with new bike lanes and infrastructure. The challenge was to create a rugged yet sophisticated electric bicycle that could handle both daily urban commutes and weekend recreational rides.

Unlike many e-bikes that lean toward utilitarian or purely sporty aesthetics, Joybold wanted an iconic design that balanced functionality with style, appealing to commuters, families, and leisure riders alike. Outerspace was tasked with developing a product that would stand out while fitting seamlessly into the growing U.S. e-bike market.
