Sky Cycle recently ran its first real-world test at Missoula International Airport, validating the consumer experience in a live setting as travelers approached and rode the cycles while waiting for their flights.
The experience is simple. Approaching a Sky Cycle, you scan the QR code and begin your ride. A few minutes of light cycling that fits into the wait-time you already have between flights.
NonStop Local Montana's Isaiah Ruiz stopped by to try out Sky Cycle and talk with founder Tana Burke about where Sky Cycle’s is growing in Montana and beyond. As Tana put it, the goal is straightforward: to help people achieve wellness during their downtime.
MSO Airport Director Brian Ellestad described the value of letting Sky Cycle Founder, Tana Burke, get feedback directly from traveler’s - to observe how they interact with the new technology and passenger experience, fine-tuning before a wider rollout. He also pointed to the potential for Sky Cycle’s launch in other airports while supporting local economies.
What made this test so valuable was data from genuine travelers at a busy airport terminal. It provided honest feedback for our company, so we can iterate and expand with the best experience possible. We're grateful to Brian Ellestad, Tim Damrow, and the whole MSO Airport team for supporting innovation and giving Sky Cycle the chance to fine-tune its product efficiency in a live setting. We'd love to see this grow into a lasting partnership.
