Kradl - Ceiling Mount Bike Rack. One-of-a-Kind Design Lifts Bikes up to 40lbs. No Electricity or Clumsy Ropes and Pulleys.

We are a family of four, and live in a modest house in San Francisco, with a small garage used strictly for storage. We have 4 adult size bikes, which we clumsily lean against each other on the ground. Access is difficult as the bikes' pedals and handle bars tend to knife into the other bikes. We've tried many other bike storage systems, but the kradl is the only one that has made a real organizational dent. We have started with one kradl, which holds up one bike in the air and then the 3 other bikes are freer to maneuver with each other. Getting the bike on and off the kradl is quite easy and elegant; I angle and tug down.Installation was fairly easy once you find a good spot on the ceiling to screw into. Helpful to use a studfinder.Ideally, I would have a second kradl so that 2 bikes are stored up, and 2 below. My birthday is right around the corner...The kradl is great from the get-go, and then you appreciate it even more each time you get the bike down. You can feel the ingenious engineering behind it, all the physics. It's solidly built.I'll post some before and after pictures soon.

The ever-present conundrum of bike storage - you want your bike in an easy to access location when you want to ride, but don't want the bike in the way when not in use. For those with limited space, solving for this problem is even more critical, as most usable space has already been allocated to some other purpose. Kradl offers an elegant, easy to use product in a compact package that solves this dilemma. Kradl mounts to the ceiling with two lag bolts. The spring-driven mechanism is easy to set up and does not require any external power source, or batteries to operate. Once in place, Kradl allows you to store your bike in an out of the way location but also allows for easy access when you want to ride.I'd definitely recommend it. Getting Kradl mounted is the most challenging aspect of installation, as you need to find supporting beams, joists or studs in order to ensure proper function. This shouldn't be an issue if you have some basic handy person skills though.

I purchased this product hoping for an easy way to store a bike in an already crowded garage. I was tired of having to maneuver my car in and out of the garage without hitting my bikes or being unable to open the car door because of bike handles and pedals. I came across the Kradl which provided an innovative solution that does not require electricity.When the Kradl arrived I was very impressed by the sleek packaging and how small the unit is. The instructions were easy to follow and the installation was simple. Kradl included a template to assist in making sure the placement of the screws lined up with the screw holes in the product.Once installed, I attached my bike and was amazed how easily it lifted the bike. The bike came down just as smoothly as it went up. This is a great product that I look forward to using for years.

Unbelievable. I received a used, damaged and broken system with parts missing. What incompetence.

Love this simple clean storage solution. Clean modern look. Surprisingly strong! Thanks to the detailed setup instructions installation was fast. Using the system has been awesome.This unit is right to the side of our entryway. My daily use/cyclocross bike looks great up off the ground. Looking forward using these units for our road & mountain bikes too!

Only giving 4 stars because I just installed 2 of these and haven't used them much. Great space saver. Freed up critical floor space in garage. Have worked very well so far. Read and follow installation directions carefully--this is critically important. works well on my high (10' 10") ceiling. Have hung an 18lb road bike and a 33lb mountain bike.

Really excellent hoist. Super easy to use. Saves tons of space. The installation of the unit itself is also very easy and super straightforward. I found the first time operation instructions pretty confusing but I called the support number, a real human answered and got me sorted straight away. I’m very happy with my purchase and will be getting another for my ebike.

This is high-tech, over-engineering at its "best." I can't return this (I bought it directly from the company) and I can't find a place to review it on their own website, so here I am. The only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one is that it is made of high quality materials and well engineered. But again, it is over engineered. It is easy to mount but incredibly hard to use. Perhaps once you've gotten the hang of it it goes more smoothly, but it is no where near as simple to use as the videos on its website make it seem. We are in the process of having one replaced because we over extended the cord trying to "tug" it to lift it up. For the amount of effort the entire process takes, I'd rather just lift the heavy bike! If you are truly an athletic person you will most likely have the strength to lift your bike onto a simple wall or ceiling mounted hook for a fraction of the effort and price.
