Our Story

The story of our Ecopumptrack.

The idea for Ecopumptrack arose from the conviction that a safe, sustainable and cost-effective pump track must be possible. Even before we founded the company, there were modular pump tracks on the market, but most of them were made of fiberglass, a material that is neither recyclable nor ecologically sound. In addition, many of these pump tracks were not safe in their construction: steeply sloping side walls, tight radii and hard edges significantly increased the risk of injury.
Our goal was a mobile pump track that could be flexibly constructed, extended and adapted – without compromising on safety, environmental friendliness or durability.

The search for the perfect material

Our first solution was a modular pump track made of fiber cement, which we developed together with Eternit (Swisspearl). Although the material properties were convincing, production was too inflexible: the molds had to be created on site at the factory, which limited the customization options and delivery times.

We tested alternative materials such as PLA flax fiber plastic and wood, but none of these solutions met our requirements. Wood in particular presented a challenge. The riding surface of a modular pump track has to be bent in three axes to ensure smooth transitions and optimum riding characteristics. This was not feasible with wood.

Child rides on modular pump track

Easy to shape – enables smooth transitions without hard edges.
Durable & weather-resistant – for long-term outdoor use.
Optimum slip resistance – sufficient grip even in the rain, without the risk of serious abrasions.
Shock-absorbing – reduces the risk of injury in the event of a fall.
Sustainable use of resources – instead of being incinerated, the plastic is given a second life.

Optimum geometry for maximum riding fun and safety

Together with bike guides, trail builders and pump track riders, we developed the optimum shape for our modular pump track. A key safety feature is the design of the side walls: instead of falling steeply, they slope gently downwards. This creates a greater sense of safety and keeps the pump track interesting for beginners and experienced riders alike.

Low risk of injury

The special surface structure of our material makes the pump track safer: the gentle cushioning effectively absorbs impacts, which reduces the risk of injury and makes the riding experience much more enjoyable.
