Once upon a time, a space hopper was merely a large orange ball that you sat and bounced on for a minute before falling off. But now space hoppers have become a truly iconic product. You can race on them for corporate days out and even knit one.
In terms of space hoppers you can ride on, there is a wide variety of designs, from space hoppers that look like pool balls to naughtier versions with protrusions for open-minded adults. Sexy calendars have even made them part of their central creative theme.
