Upbikers was born four years ago in the province of Alicante, when one of the bikers of the group, the shortest but with the biggest bike, decided to remedy the problem of reaching the ground very close to the ground and sometimes with only one foot.
About us
THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO HAVE FUN
At Upbikers we are bikers first, that’s why we have tested our product for thousands of hours. We have developed it thanks to the good fortune of being able to work in industries parallel to the motorcycle and footwear sector, developing Upbikers as a universal safety product for both tall and wide bikes, with the sole purpose of enjoying all facets of our machines.
We tried all kinds of solutions such as the madness of lowering the saddle of the bike by removing all the foam, something that our ass still remembers and that also did not cost us anything cheap, almost 200 euros.
We also glued and stitched a double sole to a boot made by BMW, but we turned it into a kind of moon walking boot, very stiff and on top of that we barely gained a centimeter and a half. Besides, we always had to carry the same spare boots and shoes in our backpack so we could walk later…. on the ground, of course.
The next thing we did was to lower the suspension of the bike and we gained 2 cm. We turn it into a different one, not sellable after any use! We had completely changed its geometry because we had to cut the support foot and make many other modifications…
In the end, we had spent almost 500 euros per bike, equipped ourselves for the moonwalk, trained how to stop bullets with our ass, how to ride goats and any other random animal … all that to gain less than 3 cm and always sweat in the same boots.
Until we came up with the craziest idea ever … Do you know what it was? Of course you know that, you came to buy a couple of ideas that will make you grow and fly on your bike too!
