Posted November 29, 2019 12:37:09 A new roller-type product from New South Wales company Chaya has been set to make its Sydney debut on Tuesday.
Chaya Roller Skates are a rollerskin product which uses specially modified roller bearings and roller-shoes to improve speed and grip on ice.
The roller skaters wear gloves and have specially modified, custom-fitted roller bearings.
In addition, Chaya also offer a roller-board, roller skate, and roller skateboard accessories for both kids and adults.
“It’s a new type of product and one that has a lot of potential in Australia,” Mr D’Ambrosio said.
“This is the first roller skater product that has been designed and developed with kids in mind.”
Mr D’Amrosio and his co-founder John Chaya have been working with the Royal Australian Navy’s icebreaking ship, the HMS Bulwark, to get the product ready to enter service.
“They are extremely proud of this product, which is being developed in partnership with the Australian Navy and Royal Australian Engineers,” Mr Chaya said.
Mr Chaya and his team were awarded the $2.8 million Innovation Award in 2019 for their work with the Bulwark and other icebreaking vessels.
It is a fitting return for Chaya, who have already received $3.4 million in funding from a group called Icebreaking Australia, which provides mentoring and business advice to Australian icebreakers.
They will be opening their Sydney retail store at the NSW Parliament on Wednesday, November 30.
