A spark (A #kicksled, but literal translation is "kick"), the preferred vehicle for the few days when ice or hard snow covers everything. Like here, in Klaus Hanssens vei in the late 20s.
The kicksled's definitive records was in Sweden in the 1870s, and the "modern" one like this (iron legs, and flexible runners) was only as recent as 1909, so this was modern #micromobility transport!
These days, salting and sanding and plowing of cold roads makes these harder to use in winter – barely scraping by with one factory that still make them in Norway.
