When we released the Freestand system, the goal was simple. Create a completely modular bike storage frame that doesn’t need drilling, anchors, or a permanent place to live. The system was designed to move bikes off the walls and out of corners, into something that could evolve with the rider and the space around them.
Pretty quickly after launching Freestand, we noticed something. People wanted mobility. Larger workshops, velodromes, and commercial fleets were shifting bikes around constantly. They wanted to push an entire line of bikes across the room in one motion. Not unhook. Not carry. Not shuttle bikes back and forth. Just move the lot.
The Freestand WheelKit was one of the very first ideas that followed the original Freestand frame concept. It always felt like the logical next step.
Why we built it
During prototype testing, we worked with velodromes and commercial workshop environments. They used Freestand frames loaded with multiple bikes, then moved them around like rolling bike displays. Watching an entire fleet glide smoothly across polished flooring confirmed that this was the right direction.
With that came a new challenge. When bikes sway or move on a rolling structure, you need to add protection where the bikes might make contact. That became the catalyst for our Launch Pad product. Both products now work together to keep bikes protected while rolling as a single unit.
What’s included and why it matters
Handlebar
-
Width: 700 millimeters
-
Diameter: 22 millimeters to fit standard MTB grips
-
Height is adjustable and locks securely
-
Includes comfortable MTB style lock grips
The handlebar gives you stable steering and allows the user to guide a fully loaded system smoothly and confidently. It turns your bike storage into a highly maneuverable trolley.
Castors
-
High strength castors rated for a combined total load of 250 kilograms
-
Two castors lock so the system stays put when needed
-
Soft rubber wheels that are non marking
-
Direct M10 thread switchover from the Freestand feet
These wheels turn the Freestand into a mobile bike stand. No tools. No compromise. Just swap the feet for the castors and your Freestand becomes a rolling unit.
Shock Absorbing Tape
-
Three meters of 50 millimeter wide cushioning tape included
This tape applies to the inside of the Freestand uprights to give extra protection and reduce contact between the frame and the bikes when rolling.
Trolley Stopper
-
Simple slide and turn wing bolt mechanism that fixes a SpaceRail trolley in place
This started as a solution for SpaceRails used inside vans and boats. It stops the trolley from sliding freely in transit. Once we had the WheelKit prototypes, it became even more useful. Locking the trolley means no movement when rolling across flooring or positioning bikes in a tight area.
Who is it for
-
Velodromes and commercial fleet managers
-
Riders with multiple bikes stored in a garage or workshop
-
Anyone who needs to regularly move sets of bikes for cleaning, maintenance, or photography shoots
The Freestand WheelKit is suitable for both the 4 bike and 8 bike Freestand systems.
The payoff
You can load bikes once, then move your entire setup anywhere in the room. No heavy lifting. No juggling handlebars. No accidental frame knocks. Just smooth movement.
From an R and D point of view, the Freestand WheelKit represents what Stashed does best. We spot the friction. We find the simple solution. Then we build it to last.
If mobility and modularity are part of your garage setup, this upgrade makes your Freestand unstoppable.
