Bicycles not only take up a lot of space in garages, they also tend to get buried behind all the other stuff that’s crammed in there. The Kradl is designed to help, by hoisting bikes up to the ceiling. And what’s more, it doesn’t use any electricity.
I’ve got 5 pulley bike hoists that cost $20/ea. This is nice but over engineered.
Can you link what you’re using? We’re looking for something like this for our garage.
Basically like this: https://a.co/d/64NFmBT
Oh nice, these look great, thanks!
If you wanted, you could just buy pulleys, rope, and a couple hooks to make your own. You could even just use eye screws and run the ropes through them for even cheaper!
Great if you have a high roof. Otherwise $5 hooks work fine.
Not suitable for most e-bikes. Too heavy.
Yeah for the price that seems kinda lame.
I live in a major city and the most common type of bike theft here is from a garage, gotta lock em up in the garage. This seems like it’d be better security that just leaving it propped against a wall but less than just about anything else.
Nice, but for 160 bucks, it needs to be able to stow ebikes, too. I don’t want to rebuy for future bikes.
Yeah this seems grossly overpriced. I got something similar for maybe $15 off Woot.com years ago. Still haven’t set it up though lol…
Yeah, it’s a cool idea, it just has to compete with rubber coated hooks for bike tires. I do want to install some in the garage, though.
Great for people who have flat eight foot ceilings in their garage.
I need a 70lb version

Is it wise to store your bike with its entire weight pulling on the top tube like that?
Shouldn’t really be an issue, the top tube ought to be more than capable of supporting that weight. The only problems I’ve really heard of are when people clamp their stands too hard on carbon fiber stuff, but that’s more about the pressure from the clamp, not the weight of the bike.
but that’s more about the pressure from the clamp, not the weight of the bike.
That’s what I’ve always assumed.
In that case, I like the idea… now I need a multi-million dollar mansion with 20ft tall ceilings to make it happen! LOL
