What is a stainless steel bicycle gutter?

A stainless steel bicycle gutter is a stainless steel u-profile along a staircase or slope that allows a bicycle to be guided up or down in a safe and controlled manner. The bicycle gutter gives the wheel its own track next to the walking route, allowing the user to easily guide the bicycle by hand.

Is the bike gutter suitable for all bikes and e-bikes?

The stainless steel bike gutter is suitable for most city bikes, e-bikes and other two-wheeled vehicles with two wheels in line. Different gutter widths allow the solution to be tailored to the type of vehicle, such as bicycles, e-scooters and motorbikes.

Can the bicycle gutter be mounted on an existing staircase?

Yes, in many cases the stainless steel bicycle gutter can be mounted on an existing staircase with special stainless steel mounting plates. Often, no major structural modifications are required and the bicycle gutter can be added to existing stairs or ramps afterwards.

Is the stainless steel bicycle gutter suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the bicycle gutter is made of stainless steel 304, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The material can withstand intensive use and changing weather conditions, for example in outdoor staircases, garden stairs or access stairs to houses and car parks.

In what widths is the bicycle gutter available?

The stainless steel bicycle gutter is available in several widths to suit different types of vehicles. Narrow gutters are ideal for regular bikes, wider gutters for e-scooters or motorbikes. Thus, the right gutter can be chosen for each project and user.

Where is a stainless steel bicycle gutter usually used?

A stainless steel bicycle channel is widely used along stairs at houses, apartment complexes, car parks, bicycle sheds and public buildings. Wherever a staircase or slope forms the height difference between street level and entrance, a bicycle gutter can greatly improve the route for cyclists.

What is the difference between a bicycle gutter and VeloComfort®?

A stainless steel bicycle chute provides passive guidance: the user provides the force to guide the bicycle up or down. VeloComfort® is a complete bicycle transport system with a powered bicycle lift (toothed belt) and a braking brush chute. This system is intended for steep bicycle steps, greater height differences and intensive use.

Stainless steel bicycle gutter along stairs for upward and downward bicycle transport

Lo Minck Mobility's bicycle gutter is a robust stainless steel u-profile (RVS304) that can be used for both upward and downward bicycle transport. The bicycle is given its own track along the stairs, so it is guided up or down in a controlled way. The cyclist provides the power himself; the stainless steel bicycle rail provides the correct guidance along the stairs or slope.

When, in addition to conduction, active support is desired (e.g. for steep bike steps or heavy e-bikes), please refer to our VeloComfort® bicycle transport system.

High-quality materials

The bicycle gutter is based on high-quality stainless steel (RVS304) and has a robust design (thickness: 3 mm), ensuring a long life span. The bicycle gutter is mounted to the stairs with specially developed stainless steel mounting plates, which are folded around the step noses. Installation is a piece of cake with these mounting plates, see assembly instructions. The bottom surface of the bicycle gutter is provided with anti-slip, so that the bicycle has more grip, and is less likely to slip sideways if the gutter is slippery, e.g. due to rain or snow.

The stainless steel bicycle gutter is available in different widths to suit multiple vehicle types: Lo Minck Mobility

100 mm - bicycle holder for normal and city bikes

Advantages of the bicycle gutter

Adjust inclination angle with adjustable holders

In practice, many bicycle steps are quite steep. Depending on the available space at the bottom of the stairs, the angle of inclination of the bike chute can be flattened, so that the bike rolls in or out more quietly.

Lo Minck Mobility has special height-adjustable holders developed. Available for indoor and outdoor use, these provide a stable, level transition between stairs and ground level. Flattening is usually limited to a few degrees, to prevent the bicycle from being too far away from the user.

Foldable stainless steel bicycle gutter for narrow stairs

With very narrow stairs, there is often no permanent space for a fixed bicycle gutter. The folding stainless steel bicycle gutter then offers a smart solution.

With a clamping system the gutter is securely attached to the stairs.
The gutter can be easily folded and unfolded.
When folded up, the stairs remain optimally usable for pedestrians.
When used with a bicycle, the gutter is temporarily unfolded and folded back after use.

The maximum length per folding chute module is 2.98 metres; for longer stairs, several modules can be placed one after the other. Both the folding chute and the clamping system are entirely made of stainless steel.
