VelowUp!® Hook

Patent: N2013198

Efficient and Space-Saving Bicycle Parking with VelowUp!® Hook

The VelowUp!® Hook offers a smart and space-saving solution for hanging bicycles vertically. VelowUp!® Hook is equipped with an extra tethering hook, so that not only the front wheel, but also the rear wheel can be tethered with a chain lock. The VelowUp!® Hook allows bikes to be easily and securely attached to the wall, saving up to 40% more space compared to traditional bike storage methods. Ideal for both private spaces such as garages and storage rooms and public locations such as schools, offices and car parks. This backplate with hook can also be ordered separately. The additional attachment hook, which also locks the rear wheel, significantly reduces the risk of your bike being stolen.

 

User-friendly and stable suspension

VelowUp!® Hook is designed with ease of use and stability in mind. Thanks to the sturdy wall bracket and specially designed suspension hook, bicycles can easily be hung with the front wheel on the hook. The system offers a stable suspension that prevents bikes from shifting or being damaged, making it perfect for daily use by young and old alike.

 

Suitable for Various Bicycle Types

The system is compatible with a wide range of bikes, including:

  • City bikes
  • Electric bicycles (e-bikes)
  • Road bikes
  • Mountain bikes with wide tyres of up to 6 cm

VelowUp!® Hook is suitable for bikes up to 35 kg, so it can also be used for many electric bikes and hybrid models.

 

Compact design for small spaces

Multiple VelowUp!® Hook units next to each other form a vertical bicycle storage that allows you to store many bicycles in a limited floor space. This makes compact bicycle parking and compact bicycle parking easy to realise.

Smart parking and smart bicycle parking are therefore essential in modern mobility projects.

Frequently asked questions about VelowUp!® Hook

Why should I choose VelowUp! Hook instead of a standard bike rack?

VelowUp! Hook offers significant advantages, such as space saving, ease of use, and flexibility. Moreover, the front wheel of the bicycle does not need to be stored in a front wheel bracket. The chance of damaging the front wheel or brake disc is therefore significantly lower than storing the bike in a traditional rack with front wheel bracket. The VelowUp!® Hook is specially designed to park bikes vertically, allowing you to store more bikes in a small or available space. Moreover, it is suitable for various bike types, including e-bikes and mountain bikes, and offers protection against damage to wheels and tyres.

Can VelowUp! Hook be used both indoors and outdoors?

Yes, VelowUp! Hook can be used both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor locations, we recommend choosing VelowUp! Outdoor, this is a stainless steel-finished VelowUp!, specially designed for outdoor placement.

What are the minimum and maximum dimensions for installation?

The recommended minimum clearance height for a low installation is 2m and for a high installation, it is 2.25m. Normally, the VelowUp! units are installed at high/low positions so that the handlebars of bikes parked next to each other overlap. We recommend mounting VelowUp!® units with a minimum center-to-center distance of 35cm. You can determine the center-to-center distance yourself, whether it’s 35cm, 36.3cm, 43cm, or 60cm. In general, the larger the center-to-center distance, the more the bike can be turned toward the wall.

Is the system suitable for intensive use, such as in public bike parking areas?

Yes, VelowUp! Hook is designed for intensive use and is perfect for public bike parking such as at train stations, car parks, and commercial locations. Its robust design can withstand daily use by a large number of people.

What types of spaces benefit most from VelowUp! Hook?

In principle, VelowUp! is suitable for almost all spaces, such as:

  • Small spaces: such as sheds, garages, or small apartments.
  • Complex spaces, with slanted walls, niches, etc.
  • Relatively low spaces: VelowUp! can already be installed in spaces with a minimum clearance height of 2m.
  • Public bike parking: at stations or parking garages.
  • Corporate bike parking: where efficiency and accessibility are important.
  • Showrooms and stores: for a neat and organized presentation of bikes.
How long will VelowUp! Hook last?

Thanks to the high-quality materials and robust design, VelowUp! has a long lifespan, even with intensive daily use.

What is the initial position of the lifting arm of VelowUp! Hook?

The starting position of the lifting arm is the low position, so the bike can be parked immediately upon arrival. After the bike is taken out of the VelowUp!®, the lifting arm remains in the low position. Moving the lifting arm down manually is not intended; it is also quite heavy.

How safe is it for delicate bikes like racing bikes?

VelowUp! is specially designed to prevent damage. The front wheel is securely held without pressure points on sensitive parts such as the rims. This makes it ideal for road bikes and other delicate bikes.

How is the system delivered and assembled?

The system comes with mounting plates, fastening materials, and clear instructions. You can attach VelowUp! directly to the wall with 3 screws per mounting plate (a total of 6 screws per VelowUp!). For maximum flexibility, you can opt for mounting on the aluminum profile. If the walls lack sufficient load-bearing capacity or are absent (e.g., in middle spaces), VelowUp! is mounted on a rack system with floor fixation.

Can I customize or expand VelowUp!?

Yes, the system is modular and flexible. You can expand it with multiple VelowUp! units or adapt it to your space using mounting profiles and racks. Additionally, you can extend VelowUp!® with an extended rear plate (VelowUp! Extended), special brackets for extra long bikes (VelowUp! LongTail) or with a rear plate equipped with an additional tie-down bracket, so the rear wheel can also be tied down (VelowUp Hook). For outdoor installation, we recommend choosing the stainless steel version: VelowUp! Outdoor

Does VelowUp! Hook require maintenance?

VelowUp! requires minimal maintenance thanks to the patented bike lift mechanism. The system has few moving parts, which minimizes wear and maintenance costs. The high-quality gas spring is equipped with an integrated oil reservoir, allowing the system to lubricate itself during use.

Is VelowUp!Hook environmentally friendly?

Yes, by storing bikes efficiently and saving space, VelowUp! contributes to more sustainable mobility. Using less space means that locations are used more effectively, which indirectly contributes to a greener infrastructure.

Can I easily take my bike without moving other bikes?

Yes, each bike is individually accessible. The swivel design ensures that you can easily reach your bike without having to move other bikes.

Are there any installation restrictions?

The system is suitable for sturdy walls and racks. For walls with low load-bearing capacity, a freestanding rack can be used. Ensure that the space meets the minimum height requirements and that there is enough distance between the systems. The minimum recommended clearance height for a "low" position is 2m, and for the "high" position, it is 2.25m.

How many bikes can be stored with one VelowUp! Hook system?

Each VelowUp! is designed for storing one bike.
