More than 20 years ago, Dagfinn Nyborg, came up with the idea for a sled that his dog, Curt, could pull.
What started as a hobby soon turned into the Combi-Sled, a trailer that had many of the same features you find in the Nordic Cab today.
Little by little the original trailer was improved, new ideas came steadily, and eventually the Combisled became the Rocky2.

The pictures here, taken 15 years ago, show Nordic Cab's founder, Dagfinn Nyborg and daughter, Oda - the first passenger.
Rocky2 was our brand name for many years. However, when we developed the completely new version in 2006, we decided to change the name to Nordic Cab.
Our plan was to begin selling the Nordic Cab world wide, and we received feedback from our friends in the USA that Rocky2 might too easily be confused with some sort of boxing gear:) |
Earlier versions of the Rocky2 have been, and are still being, used and enjoyed by many people in Norway and Sweden.
We have received many letters from customers over the years, with compliments and constructive feedback.
Thanks to their help, and our drive to make the best possible bike trailer, we never stopped making improvements and...

We decided to take the plunge and hire one of Norway's top design firms, Labyrint led by Ulf Tolfsen.
We set ourselves an ambitious goal - make the best bike trailer, ski sled, dog trailer, and jogger - no compromises. Every detail was to be optimized, and designed to harmonize with the other parts, so that the sum of parts would create a whole product above anything in its class.
We continue to listen carefully to our customers' feedback and are committed to making improvements based on their input.
After all, the best suggestions generally come from those who use the Nordic Cab every day.
Nordic Cab is the main product for Hamar Produkter. Hamar lies north of Oslo on Norway's largest lake, just minutes from the best cross-country skiing in the world.
The area is truly ideal for field testing this unique mulit-trailer. (The Mjosa bike trail runs 50 km along the lake and Sjusjøen cross country ski center boasts 200 km of groomed track.) |

In winter we use the Nordic Ski Cab to haul supplies into the cabin. While in summer we cycle to work with the Nordic Bike Cab and load up with groceries on the way home.
Nordic Cab, is the newest, and completely re-designed version, of a concept that began many years ago. The result is a first class trailer and sled with unlimited possibilities.
The Ski Cab, Hike Cab, Bike Cab and Dog Cab are all designed without compromise. Add the stroller and jogger functions and Nordic Cab is the perfect solution for the active family.
Nordic Cab is a trailer anyone can use to enjoy the beautiful outdoors - any time of year. |
