After riding for Ringerike SK as a junior, Kulset signed a 5-year contract with Uno-X in 2022.[4]

Kulset took part in the 2024 Tour de France, the youngest rider to take part in the race.[5] On Stage 16, he crashed after hitting a spectator's outstretched arm, and later narrowly avoided being involved in a collision with two Uno-X team cars as he chased back to the peloton.[6]
