Bicycle parking space is scarce and expensive, while bicycles are becoming heavier, wider, taller and more valuable. Smart bicycle parking is therefore becoming increasingly important. With VelowUp!® Longtail you can create a vertical bicycle shed in which vertical bicycle parking is the standard. It creates a compact, comfortable bicycle parking space for almost any long bicycle.
VelowUp! offers significant advantages, such as space-saving, ease of use, and flexibility. Additionally, the front wheel of the bike does not need to be stored in a front wheel bracket. The chance of damage to the front wheel or brake disc is therefore significantly lower compared to storing the bike in a traditional rack with a front wheel bracket. VelowUp! is specially designed to park bikes vertically, allowing you to store more bikes in a small or available space. Furthermore, it is suitable for various bike types, including e-bikes and mountain bikes, and provides protection against damage to wheels and tires.
Yes, VelowUp! can be used both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor locations, we recommend choosing VelowUp! Outdoor, this is a stainless steel version of the 'VelowUp!', specially designed for placement in outdoor spaces.
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.
Yes, VelowUp! is designed for intensive use and is perfect for public bike parking areas such as at train stations, parking garages, and commercial locations. Its robust design is built to withstand daily use by a large number of people.
In principle, VelowUp! is suitable for almost all spaces, such as:
Thanks to the high-quality materials and robust design, VelowUp! has a long lifespan, even with intensive daily use.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Yes, each bike is individually accessible. The swivel design ensures that you can easily reach your bike without having to move other bikes.
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.
Each VelowUp! is designed for storing one bike.
