Bicycle kickstands are traditionally installed as an afterthought on a bike, but the Zoo Gear 'Pelephant' is designed as a more permanent installation.
The Zoo Gear 'Pelephant' looks and operates like a pedal for the bicycle; when the bike is stopped and needs to be given a hand with staying upright, the device goes into action.
The Zoo Gear 'Pelephant' will keep a bike standing perfectly upright with no lean, which subsequently can reduce the instance of your bike falling over. This is the case for anyone who has ever tried to use a traditional bicycle kickstand only to have their ride fall right over.
The Zoo Gear 'Pelephant' is set to launch on Indiegogo soon for preorder.
