The platform pedal - (almost) reinvented

8 Degree Plattform Pedal

The principle is familiar from the click pedal: the shoe does not sit immovably on the pedal, but has a range of movement of several degrees. The 8 Degree pedal adapts this functionality to the bear paw pedal: the contact surface is flexibly mounted, which should benefit the musculoskeletal system.

In the direction of travel, the pedal axle sits on a shaft that enables a kind of pendulum movement of the pedal: this is a new approach to the design of a platform pedal. According to the manufacturer from the USA, the eight-degree range of motion should significantly reduce the strain on the ankle, knee and hip joints.

As befits a platform pedal, pins are attached to the surface. Thanks to two versions with different pins and two differently sized platforms, the pedals should not only be suitable for off-road use, but also for use on the road and in everyday life.
