What has long been common practice for skiers and snowboarders now also exists for bikers: engineer and passionate mountain biker Marvin Kiesel from the Allgäu region has developed an intelligent carrying system that allows bikes to be quickly and easily attached to any standard bike rucksack with a hydration system on demanding tours as soon as both hands are needed for the ascent. Once you have transported your bike with the PeakRider, you will never want to do without it again.

How does the PeakRider work?

The system consists of two components: a newly developed telescopic pole with support plate and the so-called Cone-Strap. The telescopic pole fits into any current bike backpack with a central opening for the hydration system. The cone strap is attached to the down tube of your bike with a handle at the center of gravity. That's all there is to it. The bike is now simply lifted over your head and attached to the telescopic bar. The cone strap then slips over the bar and holds the bike securely in position.

The sophisticated design allows the bike to be swiveled and tilted in any direction to overcome obstacles and narrow spaces of all kinds. The bike does not put pressure on the shoulders. The center of gravity is close to the body and, thanks to the support plate, the weight is optimally distributed over the back and supported by the hips. And best of all, both hands remain free while the bike is securely fastened. You have to experience this new feeling of freedom to really appreciate it. Once you've transported your bike with the PeakRider, you won't want to do without it again.

About the developer

The PeakRider was developed by Marvin Kiesel, a 28-year-old mountain biker from the Allgäu region. During Kiesel's last crossing of the Allgäu's main ridge, when he had to dismantle his bike and laboriously attach it to his rucksack, it became too much for the qualified engineer and cycling fanatic. "I realized that I had to take matters into my own hands, especially when no transport system was presented at the last Eurobike," Marvin recalls. It took two years to get from the initial idea to the finished product, but now the PeakRider is fully developed and ready for series production.

"To overcome the last financial hurdles, we decided to organize a crowdfunding via Kickstarter," explains Marvin. "Help us on Kickstarter to bring this unique and innovative product to the market and make it accessible to mountain bikers all over the world."
