The VelopA-Up BMF is a two-tier bicycle rack specifically designed for bikes such as shopper bikes and bikes with child seats. This model makes it also possible to charge your bike. The VelopA-Up BMF, along with the VelopA-Up, is our latest generation two-tier bike rack and the most advanced rack in the market. This well-designed rack is also of high quality, extra user-friendly, and noiseless. Parking the bike in a two-tier rack has never been so easy, even on the upper level. The VelopA-Up BMF is also available with charging points for electric bikes. For parking regular bikes, there is the VelopA-Up two-tier bike rack.
In the development of the VelopA-Up BMF we took into account the latest FietsParKeur standard. Many bicycle parking facilities at train stations in the Netherlands and other European countries are equipped with this rack. The VelopA-Up BMF is also highly suitable for all locations where available space needs to be maximally utilized, for example bike storage at companies and healthcare or educational institutions.
With the VelopA-Up BMF you can truly make a difference in both usage and appearance.

IDEAL FOR USERS
Stability and security: Thanks to the smart design of the wheel grips and the anti-roll-off security feature, your bike is very secure and safe. This prevents a blow to the wheel. Also, bikes cannot roll off the racks or bounce out of the gutters.
Low sill height: To park a bike on top, the user hardly even has to lift the front wheel of the bicycle because the sill height is only 28 cm.
Minimal effort: In pushing the bicycle upwards, the user is supported by the VelopA-Up BMF’s system of gas springs. This means that minimal effort is required from the cyclist. The upward operating force for bicycles that weigh around 28 kilos is:
- less than 17 kilos up to a height of 135 cm above the ground
- less than 12 kilos from a height of 135 cm and higher
Damping and fluid motion: The extendible upper part of the rack is pushed back in a fluid, straight motion and slowly comes down thanks to the unique damping system. Users say the whole movement is smooth, fluid and enjoyable.
Ergonomically designed handles: The plastic handle has an ergonomic shape. The handle’s diameter, structure, measurements and design make it very user-friendly for both left and right-handed people.
Drainage system: The clever drainage system ensures that users cannot be surprised by a sudden ‘shower’ when they pull out parts of the rack.
IDEAL FOR SITE MANAGERS
Movability: Anchoring the system into the ground is possible but not essential.
Vandal-proof: All the critical components are covered and not easily accessible. The construction is fitted with vandal-proof security bolts.
Level adjustment: The frames can be adjusted in two directions to compensate for any irregularities in the floor.
Standard installation is onto the ground, on a concrete floor. Other installation options may be possible. Please ask about the possibilities.
Installation set for joining racks together are included.
