In 2013, our universal Ivtec car bike rack was born of love. We have been developing it for 5 years with a lot of diligence and patience, sometimes with a headache. We try to look far ahead, prepare for a long way, and believe that the right recipe is dedication and attention to every detail. It’s nice, it’s satisfying, it’s overwhelming, walking forward, someone completely unknown on a bike to stop you, pat you on the shoulder and say “Alter, du hast einen tollen Job gemacht!” (“Dude, you’ve done a great job!” in German).
In 2017, the extremely prestigious Eurobike international fair held annually in Germany, gave one of its 11 gold medals to our last prototype of a car bicycle carrier – developed and manufactured entirely by Ivtec.
The nominated products in this year’s edition of the exhibition were 458 in number, and many of them were represented by world-renowned brands and manufacturers. Ivtec’s prototype was one of the only 11 products that earned the highest gold medal.
Our original bike rack was awarded a gold medal in the category of innovative product.
The participation in Eurobike 2017 came through our collaboration with the German brand Adlerwerke, whose history and prestige can be told a lot. The important thing is that at their invitation, we have developed a special version of our racks for the German bicycle market to be sold under the name of the German legend in the bicycle industry.
The best possible premiere of the product was on Eurobike this summer.
Yes! It is difficult to perceive, it is difficult to evaluate the weight and responsibility of this recognition, but our idea, our product and the great bicycle passion behind it are even more than gold.
