Ultiracer Kiosk Named a CES 2027 Innovation Awards Honoree in Accessibility & Longevity
By Shaun Cheon
RealDesignTech's Ultiracer Kiosk has been named a CES 2027 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Accessibility & Longevity category. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) revealed this year's honorees on November 9, 2026. The program honors outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology, and entries are scored on engineering and functionality, aesthetics and design, and what makes a product unique and innovative (CES, 2026a).
This is our second CES Innovation Award, following Ultiracer NEO's recognition in Digital Health at CES 2024.
Measured cycling for longer, steadier lives
The honoree listing is titled ULTIRACER KIOSK: Measured Cycling for Longer, Steadier Lives. The kiosk pairs the Ultiracer system with a full-screen touchscreen station and a cloud platform, and the listing describes it as a measured wellness system for older adults and the programs serving them (CES, 2026b).
- One ride, four things measured. A single ride trains and measures pedaling, balance, steering and attention.
- Balance you can see. The bike senses speed and lateral position, and optional front and rear motion modules add tilt and rotation at 100 Hz. The software separates the rider's steering from the frame's lean and reports zone time, symmetry, sway and coordination trends.
- A Cognition Test you answer with the handlebars. Riders respond to attention, memory and inhibition prompts by steering left, center or right while keeping their pace.
- Easy to step on. Anyone can ride as a guest, with no account or phone needed, or check in with a QR code to keep a personal history of every session.
- Built for Wellness Centers. Facilities use a center-scoped dashboard to configure activities, review participation and manage their stations.
Why accessibility and longevity
Exercise that lasts a lifetime has to be easy to start and worth coming back to. Ultiracer Kiosk is designed so that a first ride takes no setup, and so that every ride after it adds to a picture of how pedaling, balance, steering and attention change over time. That gives Neurocycleans and their Wellness Guides something concrete to talk about, one session and one trend at a time.
The support behind our work
RealDesignTech has been supported by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPO), whose program for commercializing innovative sports technology has backed our product development since 2022. We have also been supported by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA): through KOCCA's KOREA 360, we brought Ultiracer Kiosk to Dubai K-Fest 2026. We are grateful to both organizations for helping Ultiracer reach more riders, in Korea and abroad.
We also thank the Consumer Technology Association, the CES Innovation Awards judges, and every Wellness Center and rider who has helped shape the kiosk.
