Pedaling on the wrong track

Fancy pedals are a tried and tested way of giving your bike that certain something. With the pedals from Moto Bicycles - which have a completely wooden look and can also be customized - the bike stands out from the crowd. The platform pedals are finding their way to Switzerland via a new distributor.

Only 15 military in profile - and with a high-quality interior

The construction, which measures just 15 millimetres in profile, is based on a patented technology: the basis is a core made of glass fiber-reinforced plastic with a honeycomb structure, while the frame made of high-quality plywood is sealed watertight. The heart of the "Classic Pedal" consists of a CNC-milled stainless steel hollow axle and the "Color Pedal" of a solid solid axle.

The griptapes are available in different designs

The core of the axle can be moved 5mm in length to change the distance between the pedal and crank. Pins and metal have been omitted from the pedal's continuous surface to reduce the risk of injury and protect all types of shoes. A strong grip tape - as used on skateboard decks - ensures safety and grip.

Moto Bicycles was founded in 2008 by former European BMX champion Alireza 'Ali' Barjesteh. Unlike many other platform pedals, the Moto Bicycles pedal is much lighter and thinner and can be ridden with any type of shoe. Even high heels should be possible and leather soles should also feel comfortable on the pedal.

The distributor Element Sports is taking the pedals, which won the Eurobike Award 2013 and 2014, under its wing. They will be delivered to specialist retailers from January 2015.
