Some of you would think that the walking stick that you can see in the picture below is a regular one, just like any other that you have seen in the past, but it’s not. It’s quite different from the sticks that were and are available in the market, as it comes with an electronic device that is hidden somewhere inside the stick.



This way, the Pedomostick, which is being offered by Hammacher Schlemmer, doubles as a pedometer. This means that the person who resorts to the stick in times of need will be given important information concerning the number of steps they have taken, but the information doesn’t end here. In addition, the stick is able to calculate the calories the user has managed to burn or to measure both the distance and the time.



It’s a very good way for those who can’t walk just like they normally did in the past to find a motivation and to try to create new objectives on a regular basis. Therefore, the Pedomostick is nothing but a helping hand for the people who have troubles with walking.

“This is the walking stick that automatically counts each step you take. A pedometer inside the walking stick tallies your footsteps, calculates calories burned, measures distance traveled, and tracks time spend walking. The readings can be displayed one at a time on a LCD built into the handle. An LED flashlight mounted to the shaft illuminates your path with a steady beam of light or flashes to warn cars or bicyclists of your presence.”

It is made of durable aluminum shaft, while the base is made of rubber, providing the user with stability and safety. Another advantage is the padded ergonomic handle. As it is able to telescope from 37 inches to 52 inches, the Pedomostick can be adjusted to eight different heights.

The stick runs on a replaceable battery, which is included in the package, along with an additional rubber base. You can purchase the stick from Hammacher Schlemmer for no more than $99.95.
