We’re a Swiss startup located in the city of Solothurn. The journey of ROOBSTER started on 2018 when company Founder, Daniel Hugentobler, was frustrated with the bulky and unattractive e-scooters on the market. A vision for the ROOBSTER quickly developed, and being an engineer, he went on to build a first prototype. When he realised that this product had wheels, he founded the Roobster AG.
“When the first stand-on electrical vehicles entered the market, I was intrigued by the idea of these small vehicles that transported you around the city, but I found their look and feel off-putting. Do they have to be so bulky and look so clumsy? No, I thought, they don’t.“
Daniel holds a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the federal institute of technology in Zurich (ETH) with a major in Robotics and Microtechnology. During his professional career he acquired a wide range of experience with product development, innovation and quality as core areas of his work.
“When I first saw the ROOBSTER I knew that if we play our cards right, it has the potential of becoming an integral part of our everyday commute. My goal is to make that happen!”
