Germany: The Swedish start-up showed its personal transporters at InnoTrans 2024. They have been designed to make track inspections and maintenance more streamlined.

The new RS25 has a lower weight, 25 kg, compared to the previous RS22 model, which is 31 kg, and simpler construction with extra batteries. The price has been reduced from €3,400 to €3,200. Other detailed parameters have not been disclosed yet.
