Project description:
SCHOOLHOUSE TOUR
The Zurich Sports Office and the Bicycle Transport Department jointly own three mobile pump track systems. These go on a school tour in the canton of Zurich every year from March to November. One school can enjoy the modular pump track free of charge for three weeks at a time.
This is also the case with Municipality of Bonstetten and in the summer of 2023 we diligently collected laps together and broke records for three weeks:
- The result: 12 days without using a cell phone | 236,000 calories burned | 4,603 kilometers rolled!
- A total of 70,821 laps were completed on scooters, bicycles and all kinds of roller sports equipment on a track length of 65 metres. This means that a total of 4,603 kilometres were covered: the distance between Zurich and Cape Verde!
- The kids and adults spent 295 hours pumping on the mobile waves. 12 days in which not cell phone batteries were used, but rather their muscles, lungs and brains.
- Wow! 321 burgers and drinks were consumed, that's 236,000 calories, more exercise for all generations!
- Cannot be measured with numbers: the social interaction! All generations, all skill levels, all roller sports equipment, all user groups come together, show consideration for one another, laugh, learn, help one another, wait, cheer each other on!
In general, the numbers that a modular pump track can deliver are remarkable. More evidence of an invigorating effect in both urban and rural areas than actual measurements:
DID YOU KNOW THAT…
…on a modular pump track on top days over 6,000 (!!!) laps 3:45 p.m. is the peak in terms of visitor numbers, and at the weekend there is an additional swell of rolling users at 11 a.m. In general, the occupancy rate is, contrary to what you might expect, May to September, i.e. in the summer months, not necessarily higher than in the winter months. Peak days have also been measured in March or at the end of October, for example. Sundays are particularly popular, but also the Tuesday is apparently a modular pump track day!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The GPS-enabled device is easily installed under one of the modules. No power connection is required, as the battery lasts for many years. The login screen features a clear dashboard where you can access real-time online analyses and download customized reports for selected time periods. In addition to the analyses, you'll also find information about the battery charge level, and more. Even those who aren't comfortable with tables, statistics, graphs, and numbers will quickly find it useful! This tool is an absolute game-changer for anyone who needs data, analysis, and, above all, a solid foundation for decision-making based on facts!
- Basis for decision: for purchase decision
- As a basis for funding applications before purchasing a modular pump track
- Frequency measurement: when is the pump track best attended?
- Set opening hours
- Which layout is the most popular?
- Competition: Which part of town, which district, has completed the most laps?
- How many trade fair/event visitors did we have?
Our team will be happy to send you a professional evaluation of comparable modular pump tracks to make your decision easier.
