Our Journey

Urban skiers need a sustainable, practical way to carry winter gear by bike instead of by car. Early ideation compared multiple mounting directions and quickly converged on a modular rear-rack system for balance, safety, and repeatability.

Paper sketches were translated into CAD and refined into a frame-plus-backplate architecture. The geometry was updated to support clean module insertion, stronger load paths, and practical fabrication steps.

Module and geometry revisions were validated through physical testing cycles. This stage focused on improving retention, reducing unwanted flex, and preparing the module set for repeatable production.

The final design was incrementally loaded to verify structural limits and reached 20 kg before failure. Final renders documented the production direction and module family, including ski and snowboard capacity planning.
