From Frustration to Innovation

The concept of assisted one-legged pedaling—unipedaling—first caught the attention of world-class cycling coach Fredrik Ericsson in 2005. While research proved its superior ability to stimulate muscular adaptation without overloading the cardiovascular system, the practical application was hindered by the equipment – a heavy (~15 kg) counterweight that was difficult to handle, mount on the bike and to travel with.

In 2024, Fredrik partnered with childhood friend and medical engineer Stefan Eriksson to solve this decade-long frustration. Stefan’s breakthrough was a lightweight, spring-based design that offered a universal compatibility with almost any stationary bike. Together, they founded Unimotion AB, launching The Unipedal in the spring of 2026 to revolutionize training for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and medical patients alike.
