AXLE hub support
All our parking solutions are based on the patented hub support principle AXLE, which supports bicycles very stably on the front wheel hub only. AXLE is suitable for bicycles with wheel sizes of 26 to 29 inches, equipped with tyres up to a thickness of 60 mm and also puts an end to the phenomenon of ‘rim killer’! There is no frame contact or conflict with the vulnerable parts and accessories of your precious bicycle.
TODAY’S BICYCLES DO NOT FIT INTO CONVENTIONAL SHELTERS
Sometimes this is due to their unusual design, but much more often due to accessories such as bicycle bags, crates and child seats. These ‘out-of-the-box bicycles’ regularly cause chaos in aisles, damage, nuisance and even dangerous situations. This was the reason to investigate the problem of out-of-the-box bicycles in sheds. A national usage survey conducted in 2022 by Arnhem Nijmegen University of Applied Sciences shows that more than 69% of parked bicycles are not placed in the designated bicycle parking facility.
Main reasons for not using are that modern bicycles simply do not fit due to:
1 Fat tires
2 Attached accessories
3 Bicycle crate
4 Wide handlebars
5 Front luggage carrierork
Risk of damage from:
6 Rims and wheels
7 Bicycle frame
8 Suspension fork
9 Cabling
10 Disc brakes
