NightBuds- smart earbuds for better sleep and relaxation
Experience sleep like never before: Immersive, intelligent audio to help you improve and enjoy your sleep.
NightBuds are tiny, sleep sensing headphones that work with an app to intelligently look after your sleep.
Developed with sleep scientists, NightBuds help you transform your sleep and relaxation naturally through audio. Escape stress, an active mind, snoring, noisy neighbours and find the perfect, peaceful sanctuary to enjoy your sleep & relaxation.
We got our start right here on Kickstarter nearly 6 years ago with a belief that technology can help everyone enjoy a better night's sleep. After shipping over 30,000 headphones and helping over a million sleeps we’ve distilled all the feedback, lessons learnt and ideas to create the Kokoon NightBuds.
Perfect for side sleepers these soft & tiny earbuds sit deep within the ear secured via a patent-pending five-point anchor system.
Relax to your favourite audio, letting sleep sensors detect as you fall asleep, bookmarking your place and then gently fading out your audio
Created with sleep scientists, NightBuds monitor your sleep providing personalized coaching, insights and tips specific to you, to improve your sleep.
Experience immersive 4D audio and escape to incredible soundscapes. Click here to experience an early example developed on our 4D soundstage - Listen with In-ear Headphones! Final experience optimised specifically for NightBuds
Intelligent noise-masking and passive noise blocking help mask out snoring, noisy neighbours, traffic and can even help with tinnitus.
The past 12 months have seen us develop numerous designs, tests and iterations of NightBuds.
We enlisted the help of our Kokoon Beta community - ranging from current customers, our most ardent sceptics, and curious newcomers - to trial the NightBuds at each stage of their iteration, to ensure we would arrive at the most comfortable sleep headphones possible.
We invited just a few of our Beta members to share a deep dive into how they got on...
STUR Skillet: The German Cast-Iron Skillet - Made to Last
Your new everyday pan: replace your non-stick skillets with smoother & lighter cast iron that lasts forever. 100 % made in Germany.
The STUR Skillet is a cast-iron skillet designed for the 21st century: lighter, smoother yet with the same STURdiness as traditional cast iron. Built for everyday cooking and made to last.
Developing this skillet was a collective effort, made possible with the help of more than 12,000 cooking enthusiasts from our STUR community. Thank you all for your invaluable feedback and support!
But first, let us take a closer look at what makes our STUR Skillet the right choice for your kitchen. Here are 9 solid reasons for you to consider:
1. A Skillet for the Ages
Amazingly durable: The STUR Skillet is produced in Germany from one piece of cast iron. Cast with the highest precision and machined on the bottom as well as the inside, its robust material resists heat deformation and won’t leave you gripping a wobbly handle.
2. Non-Stick by Nature
Our skillets come polished and “seasoned”. In other words, we first use computer-controlled machines to smooth their cooking surface and then bake on layers of natural grape-seed oil.
The fine surface structure and oil layer (commonly referred to as “seasoning”) provide our skillets with their non-stick quality (comparable to customary non-stick coated skillets), while avoiding the chemicals otherwise used to achieve this effect. The same seasoning also protects our STUR Skillet against rust.
Should you ever be unsatisfied with your skillet’s non-stick abilities, you can simply re-season it yourself. No worries, we will show you how in our complimentary video demonstrations.
3. The Perfect Tool to Achieve the Perfect Crust
Cast iron is known to store a lot of heat, thus making our cast-iron STUR Skillet the perfect cooking tool to give your food the desired amount of crust and browning.
Basically, the stored heat makes the water in the food evaporate quicker, while also creating deeply satisfying umami flavors. Yum!
4. Made in Germany
We are proud to say that our skillets are 100% Made in Germany. Working in close collaboration with specialized partners, we are able to combine traditional methods of production with high-tech manufacturing.
You may like the fact that our foundry, Gienanth, primarily supplies high-precision engine parts for German premium brand cars. (Legend has it they cast the engine of Bugatti’s first race car). The STUR Skillet offers further proof that outstanding products can still be produced locally.
5. The Right Weight
A long-lasting skillet requires a certain weight. Thin skillets quickly deform when exposed to high temperatures and are no longer able to transfer heat evenly. When designing the STUR Skillet, we made sure to reduce weight where possible, but decided to keep material where necessary.
Imagine an instrument, fine-tuned to cook up some great steaks (or vegetables for that matter). Weighing in at 5.3 lb, our 11-inch skillet is lighter than most other cast-iron versions available on the market and primed to turn each cooking session into an uplifting experience.
6. An Ergonomic Handle
We genuinely put a lot of thought into our skillet, right down to the smallest detail. 7+ years of experience from reviewing skillets and working in professional kitchens went into the process. With our STUR community involved and contributing to every important design step along the way, the STUR Skillet is just as much yours as it is ours.
Now, please help us bring this masterpiece of cookware to your kitchen, by backing our campaign!

On its surface, Teno is a beautifully crafted bowl sculpture made from natural sand. When cracked open, it comes alive; revealing soft, warm light that you can adjust with a simple tap. When fully open, it's a powerful speaker, releasing a rich sound that you control through touch. Your music will never sound — or look — better.
A new aesthetic
Have you ever felt the urge to hide your portable speaker because it looks too tech-y? From the start, we designed Teno with an entirely different look and feel in mind: a celebration of the perfection in the imperfect. The world doesn’t need any more sleek plastic surfaces.
High-quality sound
Beauty only goes so far. We equipped Teno with a powerful 45mm full-range driver that delivers deep bass and crystal-clear treble… all from an unseen source, emanating almost magically with the soft glow of this unusual bowl sculpture.
Intuitive and unique design
Teno is designed to delight. You crack it open to switch it on. It comes alive with intuitive finger gestures. Piece it back together to turn it off.
Tactile and durable
The textured natural sand on the outside feels like you’re holding a piece of nature in your hands, while the hard inner shell provides the durability and precision that its technology requires.
Defies obsolescence
Teno is designed to be timeless. And unlike so many products marketed today, it develops the kind of patina that only makes it more beautiful over the years.
Portable
At 5” in diameter, Teno fits neatly in the palm of your hand. It’s small enough to be portable but substantial enough to feel solid.
Far from being another distracting piece of technology, Teno is for connecting with yourself and with your environment. Hold it in your hands and its vibrations impart a meditative feel — we like to think of it as modern interpretation of a sound bowl. Its radiant light creates the kind of calming atmosphere we could all use a little more of.
Mobile by Peak Design: Make your phone a better tool.
A gorgeous system of phone cases, mounts, and accessories that brilliantly adapt your phone to every aspect of your life.
Mobile by Peak Design: Make your phone a better tool.
A gorgeous system of phone cases, mounts, and accessories that brilliantly adapt your phone to every aspect of your life.
We're Peak Design.
We design products with a singular goal: Make the best things. Crowdfunding keeps us free of outside investment and lets us make things that are truly radical. This is our 10th Kickstarter. This is Mobile.
Mobile by Peak Design is an ecosystem of mounts, cases, accessories, and chargers designed to better integrate your phone with your life. They’re made for any phone, and also compatible with Apple’s new MagSafe® system. (See faq for compatibility details).
We are actively designing and testing all of these products as we get closer to kicking off production. Like any Peak Design Kickstarter campaign, backing means taking a leap of faith with us to get some pretty radical products earlier and cheaper than anywhere else. It means coming along for the ride.
Interface your phone with your life. SlimLink is ultra-strong, low-profile, and absolutely delightful to use. It has dual locking mechanisms: a soft lock made possible by a MagSafe-compatible magnetic array embedded in our cases and mounts, and for mounts being used in more demanding applications, a hard lock made possible by a zirconia ceramic insert that interfaces with mechanical claws on our most rugged mounts. No other phone mounting system has the same combination of slimness, ease, ruggedness, and looks.
We’re tired of clunky, unattractive mobile accessories. So, we created products that look and feel beautiful and are genuinely fun to use. You’ll be thrilled to integrate them into your life.
Safe and secure means bulky and cumbersome, right? Wrong. Slimlink packs a rigidly secure hard locking mounting system into a wildly shallow stack height (2.4mm!). This allowed us to create amazingly slim cases, mounts, and accessories that are truly rugged enough for any activity.
The world is awash in throw-away phone gadgets. Mobile by Peak Design is fundamentally different: each product is built from premium materials, individually serialized and guaranteed for life.
To be able to use all of the Peak Design mounts and accessories, you must have either a Peak Design Everyday Case or Universal Adapter. To use just our soft-locking products, you can use our case or adapter OR a case of phone compatible with Apple's MagSafe system.
Do you have an iPhone 11, 12, or Samsung S20? Get our Everyday Case!
Don’t have one? Then our Universal Adapter is for you!
Tens of thousands already use Luna Display for Mac and now we’re bringing that same magic to Windows. Whether you’re working remotely, looking to maximize your workspace, or seeking more creative flexibility - Luna has you covered. As the only hardware solution on the market, you can...
Turn any iPad into a wireless second display for your PC or Mac
Connect via WiFi or USB
Experience lag-free lightning-fast speeds
Use any Windows or Mac app
Utilize full touch support and external keyboard support
Choose from two unit options for PC: USB-C or HDMI
More people than ever are working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We're a fully-remote company ourselves — and have been since we started 7 years ago — so we truly understand the struggles of working remotely. That’s why we built Luna Display!
Life is better when your workflow works—
Not enough screen space to work efficiently? Luna acts as a second display, so you can extend your workspace from your desktop to iPad.
Traditional monitors leave you tethered to your desk. But Luna works wirelessly over your existing WiFi network — so you can move your workspace around your house, to the office, and everywhere in between.
Mobile second screen setups are often complex to set up and require lots of wires and tools. With Luna, you can pair a Windows or Mac computer to an iPad with just some apps and your Luna. No need to buy new screens - make the most out of what you have.
Luna gives you the flexibility to work wherever you want, however you want. Whether it’s stepping away from the confines of your desk to working from anywhere within your home, you can create the ultimate wireless setup with minimal effort.
Luna will connect as long as both devices are on the same WiFi network. You can even take your workflow outdoors with a strong WiFi connection.
We've spent years building Luna’s custom video compression technology we call LIQUID. Every line of LIQUID code was originally written to meet the demands of pro artists, and the result is stunning image quality and responsiveness. That means Luna can keep up with any heavy-duty workflow.
Unlike our competitors, Luna’s custom-engineering guarantees consistent performance across all of your favorite PC programs. Enjoy the same reliability of a traditional monitor but the flexibility of your iPad.
Take your mobile workspace on the go without worrying about a bunch of cords or heavy clip-on screens. Just pack your laptop, iPad, and Luna and you’re ready to go!
Luna’s hardware dongle is discreet, compact, and beautifully designed. Unlike other bulky tech accessories that take up space, Luna fits neatly in the compact box that it’s sent in.
Each box contains a Luna dongle, sculpted foam packing to safely hold it in place, and a simple card with instructions to help you get set up in seconds.
Luna Display for Windows is available in two port types — USB-C or HDMI.
If you’re a Mac user, Luna is available in USB-C or Mini DisplayPort (available for immediate purchase at lunadisplay.com). The USB-C version is compatible with both PC and Mac.
Your purchase includes the Luna Display hardware unit along with access to the free Luna Display desktop and iPad apps.
“Really enjoying my new set up, thanks to Luna Display! Such a great tool to expand workflows. 🙌” —Travis V.
“Genuinely blown away by how well it works. Never thought I’d ever be able to use a desktop computer whilst laying on the sofa. Thanks Luna Display!” —Alastair M.
"This little device from Luna Display is incredible! It allows me to use an iPad as a second screen wirelessly with retina resolution. 2 min out of the box and up and running. 👍” —Shane D.
“Much needed second screen for my 13”MBP when not at my desk. Big workflow gain. Works great over WiFi or tethered USB.” —David T.
“I just got my Luna Display in the mail, and it's incredible. Truly feels like the iPad Pro is just another monitor.” —Zack K.
“Really happy with my LunaDisplay. I use it constantly when I travel. Such a beautifully engineered solution, a real “It just works” piece of kit.” —Harrison T.
“This device is such a game changer for me. For somebody that works offsite and needs more screen real estate in apps like After Effects, Luna Display knocks it out of the park. And there’s little to no lag because it works off a solid WiFi connection. Highly recommend!!” —Miles F.
“I can take my iPad and the mouse to another part of a room and control the Mac - perfect for home recording / microphone chamber. Luna Display is great!” —Hannes O.
“I’ve tried almost all of the ‘use your iPad as a second display’ options and the ONLY one that legitimately delivered on the promise is Luna Display – thank you for making this!” —Stephen S.
“Still can’t believe how solid Luna has been day to day. Literally feels like I’m using a retina touch screen Mac when it’s open.” —Daniel P.
“Just set up my Luna Display! I don't remember the last time I've ever been so excited about a piece of tech. My two screens and I thank you.” —Lauren B.
“The speed and resolution are head and shoulders over software-only solutions!” —Martin L.
Simply plug in Luna, launch the apps, and your devices will automatically connect! Luna for Windows is available for USB-C or HDMI.
Plug Luna into your Windows computer. (You do not need to plug in a Luna into your iPad!)
With full support for external keyboards, Apple Pencil, and touch interactions, Luna allows you to harness the power of your PC while extending your display to the iPad. Here’s what you need to get started:

BeYou - The Transforming Chair With 10+ Ways You Can Sit
Now you can enjoy the benefits of movement when sitting. Focus, relax & work comfortably in many positions that feel great to be you.
Instead of telling you how to sit, BeYou transforms so you can finally sit comfortably in any position that feels great… to be you.
Sitting on your BeYou is just as intuitive as tossing and turning while you sleep. Your body will naturally tell you when it’s time to switch positions.
Then, all you have to do is listen to it. BeYou does the rest. Simply adjust and in only a few seconds, the possibilities are endless!
With your BeYou transforming chair, you can do waaay more than just sit.
You’re free to work on your laptop, play on your phone, lounge to relax, take a zen moment to yourself, do a few yoga poses and even take a power nap.
BeYou is more thoughtful than a glass of wine on a bad day and more versatile than a Swiss army knife.
Your BeYou comes with... wings. Yeah, for real. Kinda 😉 They support you no matter how you choose to sit. They are plush and comfy like grandpa's favourite armchair, yet look super sleek and modern.
They’re incredibly easy to adjust. It only takes one click! And you can do it all while sitting down. Put them all the way up, open them flat or anything in between. Whatever works for you.
Each wing can be set in 5 positions. Use them as armrests, backrest, support for your knees, the perfect place to put up your feet or even as yoga blocks.
The adjustable backrest lets you slide it up and down so you get additional back support, even for taller people. Plus, this lets you adjust the height when you're using it as a seat or table.
The backrest adjusts in all the right places to make sure BeYou feels like home. Move it backwards or forwards, up or down and even tilt it slightly.
But this is so much more than a backrest. When horizontal, it unlocks a whole new list of ways you can sit, relax or work on your BeYou.
Use it as a laptop stand or a table that’s perfect for your lunch. Or what might be the world's comfiest elbow pad. It fits under your desk and makes typing on your keyboard much easier.
No, we’re not done. You can use the backrest as a seat and finally sit comfortably with your legs crossed in a chair made for you. Rest your knees or feet on the seat and play around to find what feels good.
With so many of us working remotely now, you can trust that BeYou is perfect for your home or office setup.
The minimalist and timeless design looks great in any room. BeYou transforms to help you sit better no matter if you’re working or relaxing... or both.
When you can change your position easily so you feel more comfortable, your level of focus and productivity skyrockets.
At home, you can relax and put your feet up, take a moment to unwind and meditate or simply sit comfortably while watching a movie.
BeYou is also perfectly tailored for your home office. Now you don’t have to move from the couch to the bed then to the floor, trying to find the perfect work spot.
To stay focused and productive, it's best to stick to a dedicated work space in your home. But you don't have to stick to one position. With BeYou, you can sit however you want.
BeYou fits under your desk no matter how you like to sit: lounge, cross legged and even backwards.
Your chair is made with top quality oak veneer. This makes your BeYou very strong, stable and durable.
Because mother nature is part of the BeYou, we are committed to do our part for mother nature. That's why we will plant 1 tree for every chair sold.
The custom built quick release hinges are at the heart of BeYou’s design. They’re super easy to use and help you transform your chair in a matter of seconds.
Bums and backs around the world will be thrilled to sit on BeYou’s extra comfortable high-quality foam cushions.
We made BeYou so you can use it for years to come. That's why we use a special cushion fabric that’s stain resistant and withstands wear and tear exceptionally well.
BeYou comes with a wide base and heavy duty auto-locking wheels that adapt to your weight placed on the chair.
When you’re sitting down, it’s easy to move around with just a push of your legs. When you get up to get a coffee, the chair stays put because the wheels automatically lock in place.
The wheels work great on both carpet and hard surfaces. And you can use the wheels or the fixed casters (included in your package).
The BeYou wheel base is up to 40% wider than traditional chairs. Plus, we shifted the piston 4x further back compared to traditional chairs, which also shifts its centre of gravity, giving it excellent stability.
That way, you can rely on the base and backrest to support you without compromise, even when using the backrest as a seat in the highest positions.
You probably googled "ergonomic" at some point. But do you actually know what it means?
It's actually pretty simple. It's something designed for efficiency and comfort in a working environment. BeYou easily checks all the boxes, which is why it's a truly ergonomic chair made for how you sit.
When you're sitting for long hours every day, back pain is quite common. Because on BeYou it's so easy to change positions, you get a lot of variety. You're not forced to sit in one position, so there's no more stiffness.
BeYou's special backrest is a natural prompt for you to stay mindful of your posture. It's a great reminder to sit up straight on your own, without leaning back on a backrest that usually prompts us to slouch a little bit in our chairs.
And for those intense deep work sessions when you need the perfect support, the curved cushions frame your body better and the backrest goes up as high as 43cm / 16.9".
We believe your peace of mind is important. BeYou comes with a 1 year warranty, so you can focus on making the most of it and discovering your favourite positions.
BeYou is all about helping you sit however it feels good to be you. The need to keep changing positions is natural. With BeYou, you can enjoy the benefits of movement even when you’re sitting.
We can’t promise you won’t get addicted to BeYou… but we can assure you you’ll love every second of it!
How are we able to offer BeYou at such a competitive price? We cut out all the middlemen that inflate traditional retail prices, so we can bring you BeYou at the best possible rate.
Shipping fees will be collected after the campaign ends, on BackerKit - the pledge management platform we'll be using. Please check out our FAQs for more information.
Weight: 25kg (55 pounds)
Supports up to: 181 kg (400 pounds) on the main seat. For the sitting positions where you use the backrest as a seat, we’ve tested it so far to 125 kg (275 pounds).
BeYou Unboxing & Assembly Video
You can put together your BeYou chair in under 20 minutes 😊 with a screwdriver and a hex / Allen key (included in the package).
https://youtu.be/V4IVMVTI7Wg
BeYou is built by a group of friends with decades of experience in sitting. We sit in an office, we sit working from home, we sit down to relax, we sit while eating. But despite our years of experience, we suck at it.
Jennifer is a fidgeter, always looking for the next (weird) spot she can sit in. David is the super focused type that converts into a statue for hours, then struggles to un-stiff himself (easier said than done!). Kate can only sit cross legged, so she always ends up sitting on the floor. Macey is a yoga addict who does yoga poses day and night. Mark randomly squats cause that’s what feels comfortable to him. And Phil’s just using every possible moment to chill, he sleeps anytime, anywhezzzzzzzzzzz.
So we wanted to do better for ourselves... and for you. BeYou is the only chair that solved our different problems and transformed all our lives.
Introducing TAUR – an evolution in electric scooter design.
Electric scooters have, until now, been based on a ‘kick-scooter’ design. An electric adaptation of a toy made for kids.
That’s why there was little consideration for withstanding potholes or powering up hills. They weren’t made to be ridden at night or for cruising alongside cars. Most other designs make you top heavy and needlessly close to the front wheel. Why? Because road-riding was never the goal.
In addition, most electric scooters take ages to charge, aren’t great to look at, can easily get stolen and require a PhD in engineering to change a tyre. With all this in mind and more, our co-founder, leading personal mobility engineer and all round legend, Carson Brown, put himself to the test of creating a better one.
The safest way to scope the road is facing forwards. TAUR’s foot platforms give you a dedicated standing space that’s 2.5x wider than a typical scooter deck.
The wider, lower, side-by-side ride position makes you incredibly stable and secure. With just a small shift in weight to either side, you get a flowing, effortless turn. It also allows you to turn your head easily in either direction for maximum traffic awareness.
The fold-down foot platforms are made of an aluminum alloy covered with a high-grip foot surface. Each one is big enough to hold a rider's foot comfortably (Size 12 Gang, we've got you) which creates a highly stable weight distribution either side of the frame. Shocks from uneven roads are no problem at all.
When you're done, just fold them up and you're good to go.
TAUR’s minimal design frees up space for bigger wheels – up to 3 times bigger than other brands. Because size matters.
Potholes are a thing of the past thanks to our 12.5” kevlar-reinforced, puncture-resistant Continental® tyres. Impressive for a car, let alone a scooter.
Like some kind of two wheeled tank or G-Wagon, TAUR's deep treads cut right through to the tarmac so you won't fail to find traction, even on wet and slippery roads.
Puncture? The Kevlar-reinforcement makes that very unlikely. But if you do get one, you can remove either wheel in under a minute and be back on the road in just a few more.
TAUR™ has a simple, elegant frame. Made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, it's incredibly robust, lightweight and fully recyclable. Yes, we care for the planet.
The automative-grade paint job is a matte powder-coat, giving TAUR™ a subtle but sophisticated look while still maintaining high levels of durability against marks and scratches.
Who said night riding is a write-off? TAUR™ comes packed with a 300 lumen Cree® LED headlight with a high-power directional beam, giving even Batman a run for his money. This means you’ll have great visibility and plenty of time to react, even in the darkest of nights.
Safety doesn't stop there either. Unlike other products, which have a narrow front light, we specifically designed ours to contain frosted side layers that make riders visible from 240 degrees. That's right. Flex at every angle.
We're only satisfied with rear lighting that's visible at a driver's eye level. So, in addition to our highly visible front light, there's also an 80 lumen brake light at the rear, as well as a separate 100 lumen rear-projection light that utilizes TAUR's forward facing riding position. Shining a light onto the rider's back. So all eyes are on you – no paps please.
Imagine that hill you hate to walk up. Now imagine yourself zooming up it with ease. Thanks to our 500W motor in action, you have a top speed of 24mph (39 kph) and a range of 22 miles (35km).
But it's not just the motor, it's the batteries too. We use high performance cells specifically chosen to give maximum torque from the motor.
TAUR™ comes with 3 power modes:
ECO MODE - Don't blast off the block, but you'll recharge less often.
ROAD MODE - Everyday travel with great speed and acceleration.
SPORT MODE - Because life’s is too short to not go fast!
Nobody likes waiting for things to charge. Especially Carson Brown. TAUR™ comes with a 125W charger to power up our high performance batteries up to 3x faster than the average electric scooter.
Moreover, our smart battery management system (BMS) ensures that TAUR™ is aware of what's going on. The system takes readings several times per second, to make sure your battery is healthy and happy. It also means accurate range prediction, so you really know when you do/don't need a charge.
80% charge in 2 hours. Or by the time the game is over.
100% in under 3 hours. Extra time? Guess that’s extra power.
At The Flick of Your Thumb
Even while riding TAUR™, all of its functionality is accessible. Cruise control, sound the horn, change performance modes, turn the lights on and more.
Switch up your ride any time with a 5-way thumb-controlled joystick and cycle through modes on a display that doesn’t look like your 6th grade calculator.
The Fort Knox Of Scooters
Keep your enemies at bay. TAUR™ is secure and rideable only to people you grant permission. Simply tap your key fob, or use our app to unlock via bluetooth.
They’ll Need A Bigger Chainsaw
Park up anywhere stress-free by running a lock through the frame and front wheel (or both!). Oh, and you can set a security alarm too – anyone moving it for more than a few seconds will get a lot of unwanted attention (settings in app).
N.B. Lock not included.
Carry On
Don’t let the sleek lines fool you – folding TAUR™ only takes a few seconds. The kick-actuated handle unlocks the hinge which allows the steering column to clip safely into a reinforced steel support under the mudguard.
And despite packing a performance punch and incredible robustness, TAUR only weighs 15.5kg (34lbs).
Always TAUR, Sometimes Decor
Electric scooters can be a pain to store. So, we thought we'd try and make its footprint even smaller. TAUR™ stands vertically on the rear wheel and specially designed bullhorn handlebars. Alternatively, if you're old school, you can stand TAUR™ folded or unfolded on the centre stand, ready to go.
Come Rain or Shine
Don't let a bit of water stop you from that joyride. TAUR™ has an IP55 rating (pssssst, that means it works in the rain) which means you can Mary Poppins your way through town.
TAUR In Your Pocket
Keep it moving with charge check-ups and the latest updates through the TAUR™ app – for Android and iPhone.
Over-the-air updates – stay up to date with the latest functionality
Battery notifications – know if you get low
Remote immobilization – disable your product wherever you are
Alarm settings
Lighting settings
Speed limiting
TAUR™ is a hyper-connected machine with a lot of software potential. We plan to deliver some amazing functionality for backers in the short term, but we've got plenty more on the roadmap.

Can You Trust Us?
TAUR™ might be the new kid on the block, but don’t let that fool you.
Our team consists of some of the smartest heads in the game, with resumes packed by the likes of Tesla, Apple and British Airways. Our combined decades of industry experience have allowed us to manage how design decisions impact unit costs and timelines, and create a product that we know you’ll love as much as we do.
In the two years since that very first sketch, we’ve iterated on 7 major manufactured iterations in our mission to create the ultimate road scooter, thanks to the use of our in-house R&D and test facilities. All that’s left to do now is to hit ‘print’ on that first production run.
Production isn’t unfamiliar to us either. We’ve worked extensively with our manufacturing partners in previous projects, overseeing the manufacture and QA on runs of over 100,000 units. That’s why we have no doubt we’ll do a great job for all our backers.

TUSHÉ | The Modern Wet Wipe Alternative- Designed To Replace Single-Use Plastic Wet Wipes For Good!
Meet TUSHÉ, the modern wet wipe technology. Sophisticated, simple to use, sustainable, and more sanitary than dry toilet paper – we are upgrading your bathroom experience. With its premium engineered components and modern minimalist appearance, TUSHÉ is a product for anyone and everyone. The result is a refreshing, hygienic experience that can be used inside the comfort of your home.
TUSHÉ is truly the best solution for wet wipes. Our touchless technology dispenses a luxurious foam onto your toilet paper, giving you an eco-friendly, natural, and flushable way to clean your tushie. Developed for the healthy, hygiene-conscious, and eco-responsible lifestyle, TUSHÉ increases personal cleanliness and reduce the environmental burden of outdated wet wipes.
We have reinvented the wet wipe into something that is more sustainable and hygienic for you as well as our planet. It is our mission to positively impact the environment while also enhancing people’s lifestyles.
What's wrong with using a wet wipe?
Most wet wipes are made of Polyester, a form of plastic that sheds fibers as it slowly degrades into smaller particles, polluting our land, rivers, and oceans.
Other wet wipes are made from "regenerated cellulose," which includes materials like Tencel, Viscos, Rayo, and Lyocell. While these products are marketed as "eco-friendly," the truth is that we still don't fully understand how these processed materials do or don't biodegrade in the natural environment.
All wet wipes are made of cloth-like materials, compared to toilet paper they are significantly thicker. Toilet paper will quickly breaks down in your septic system which means it won't be left in landfills or enter our oceans.
WE CAN DO BETTER! WE ARE CHANGING OUR BOTTLES:
Our mission is to reduce plastic waste by eliminating single-use plastic wet wipes. Due to the large minimum order quantities, we are financially limited as a small business to pursue more eco-friendly options for our packaging. While our bottles are 100% recyclable plastic, our next step will be developing and transitioning to more innovative, environmentally-friendly alternatives.
Stop flushing your money down the toilet!
Looking at the graph above, we are wiping out the competition in all categories. There is no other wet wipe on the market that is eco-friendly, natural, flushable, and offers more bang for your buck than TUSHÉ.
Every starter kit includes a dispenser, cleansing foam, wall attachment, and USB charging cable. After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey that allows you to add more bottles of our cleansing foam to your order.
WE HAVE REACHED OUR STRETCH GOAL. You will have the option to choose between two colors: pearl white or charcoal grey. In the future, we hope to expand our dispenser variations to meet all of your diverse aesthetic needs.
Our TUSHÉ dispensers are designed to be compact and versatile. Dispensers can be placed anywhere in the bathroom of your choosing. Our favorite location? Right next to the toilet paper for easier access.
Our estimate for standard shipping charges is based on the expected volume of our campaign and is subject to change depending on the final result. These charges may also change if you add more products during the survey process such as extra bottles of cleansing foam. We want to keep this process as simple, transparent, and accurate as possible.
Customs, Duty, and VAT charges: in some cases, international backers will be required to pay additional fees. As these are beyond our control, it will be the backer's responsibility to cover these fees once they have received the selected reward. Any questions regarding this additional charge should be addressed directly with the backer's customs office.
For the last two years, our team has worked to bring you the perfect TUSHÉ. Our goal was to deliver a simple design that is visually appealing in any bathroom. We are so appreciative of our incredible production team for their help throughout the entire process. In addition to avoiding any harmful ingredients, we have implemented countless butt-wiping tests to ensure that our formula is 100% safe for daily use. We are excited to share TUSHÉ to the world and replace the outdated wet wipe FOREVER!
