Redesign and Test of an E-Touring Ski
Ski touring provides a unique and immersive outdoor experience, but the ascent can impose a considerable amount of strain on the body, especially for novices, elderly, or people with disabilities. The objective of this master thesis is to redesign an existing concept and functional model of an electric ski touring device that supports hill ascents, aiming to enhance the ski touring experience for individuals with lower fitness levels by making it less physically demanding and more enjoyable. The current model must be optimized with respect to weight, function, energy consumption, and usability (donning/doffing). After successful fabrication and testing, first steps shall be performed to identify intellectual property and market needs, and finally plan the commercialization of the e-touring ski.
