The morning after the coal-black, 6-foot-tall Liteboxer was delivered, I walked into the living room and found my cat, at a cautious distance, staring up in wonder at this strange intruder. It reminded me of the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey when the apes encounter the black monolith.
I, too, had reason to be wary. The $1,495 Liteboxer is already being called the “Peloton for boxing,” a reimagining of the traditional punching bag. Yet in my living room, I couldn’t decide if the enormous free-standing device looked more like a high striker that a carnival strongman might pound with a sledgehammer or a personalized teleporter standing ready to beam me up to the USS Enterprise.
