Like a Ski Lift for Cyclists - Trampe Bicycle Lift (VIDEO)
Trampe Bicycle Lift
Published: Oct 30, 07

90% of Trondheim’s 30,000 students use their bikes as their main form of transportation. The third largest city in Norway has an extremely steep hill running right through downtown which was extremely hard for cyclists to climb in the past.

To help cyclists climb to the top of the hill, the Trampe Bicycle lift was installed. When riders step onto the footplate, the Trampe acts as a ski lift T-bar, pushing riders up the hill while still mounted on their bikes.

To increase the usage of bicycles in Trondheim, the Municipal of Trondheim has through the recent years invested 20 mill. NOK in building multiple, connected bicycle roads. Due to topographical height differences, however, there is limited bicycle commuting to and from the town center. In job/school commuting or shopping the last thing you want to be is sweaty, and climbing the hills to the top of the terraces in Trondheim will guarantee copious amounts of perspiration.
