2025 IF DESIGN
AWARDED PRODUCT
The engineering challenge was precise: how to create a secure mount that allows loading a heavy bike without lifting it, ensures rock-solid stability, and offers the instantaneous space-saving power of a 90-degree swivel.
​
My initial prototypes struggled with inertia. The weight of a bike resisted smooth pivoting, and every model required an awkward final hoist. The breakthrough came by designing the system around gravity and leverage. I decided to use the bicycle structure and wheels in my favor by creating a simple design that allows the user to simply roll the bike forward onto a supporting arm while the wheels are still on the ground—zero lifting required, making it truly easy even for heavy 30kg loads.
Swivel Bike Wall Hanger:
Idea Inspiration
While designing the Swivel wall hanger, my obsession wasn't just about hanging a bike; it was about reclaiming the home. Every cyclist knows the pain of home storage: bulky bikes constantly in the way, and the back-breaking ritual of hoisting a 15 to 30kg machine high onto a flimsy hook. Standard vertical hangers save floor space, sure, but they demand a heavy lift and leave the bike protruding awkwardly into the room. I envisioned something that was effortless to use and could make a bicycle virtually disappear.
Once the bike is resting securely on the main arms, the crucial step for stability was implemented: the Patented 3rd Point Swivel Wheel Stopper. This engineered element instantly engages the wheel, providing a fixed, stabilizing contact point that eliminates any side-to-side lean or sway. The bike is immediately held firm and perfectly vertical.
With the bike securely mounted and stabilized by the wheel stopper, the final, space-defining maneuver is possible. The heavy-duty swivel system allows the entire loaded bicycle to be pushed smoothly 90 degrees, turning the bike flat against the wall and maximizing floor space. As an added layer of efficiency, the hanger itself can fold up flat when not in use.
The result is the Swivel Wall hanger: a dynamic steel storage solution that doesn't just hold a bike—it redefines the process. It's the fusion of an effortless, zero-lift loading mechanism with a brilliant swivel function secured by a patented wheel stopper, making bike storage efficient, practical, and strain-free.
