Bike Holder

Today, forward-looking mobility concepts are setting the global standards for modern transportation systems. A key component of this development is the innovative bike rack, designed for the safe and highly efficient transport of bicycles on gondolas. This system allows for the transport of up to two bicycles on the exterior of the gondola and is primarily designed for configurations that do not feature traditional ski racks. Weighing just nine kilograms per holder, this solution stands out for its lightness, thereby minimizing the additional weight on the entire system.

The Bike Holder’s product design follows the principle of functional precision and maximum protection of the equipment. Handling is intuitive for the user: The front wheel is simply inserted into the upper mounting tray, while the rear wheel is stabilized on both sides in the lower section. This dual-sided support reliably prevents the wheels from swaying during the ride and ensures a stable position. A key advantage is that the bicycles rest exclusively on their tires, thereby eliminating the risk of mechanical damage to the frame or sensitive components. This design approach also protects the cable car cabin itself, as external transport consistently prevents dirt and wear inside the cabin.

The bike rack blends seamlessly into the modern lines of the cabins, creating a look that appears to be a single, unified piece. The combination of safe transport and a design focused on durability makes the ride a first-class experience for mountain bike enthusiasts.
