About magped

magped has been developing patented, innovative magnetic safety pedals since 2018. The product range has been continuously expanded. Today, magpeds are available for all areas of use. The pedals are finished in Austria – near Innsbruck – and certified by the German Zedler Institute ISO -4210. Magped produces tens of thousands of pedals every year, which are exported to end customers and specialist dealers worldwide.

How it all began

The story of magped actually began back in 2012 with manual conversions of standard pedals. The first pedals with a magnet system were distributed and tested among friends. It soon became clear that the ability to adjust the height of the magnets and their flexible mounting was a key factor and decisive for the functionality of the magnetic system. Based on this patent, Paul Wessiack and Harald Himmler decided in 2018 to develop high-quality magnetic pedals based on modern CNC production and to produce them in series.

Start your adventure with magped

Your adventure with magped begins with the first satisfying click between magnet and cleat. You immediately feel the additional grip on the pedals and the opportunity to use your entire leg muscles efficiently. The magnetic force acts primarily vertically upwards. Lateral release in all directions is possible at any time and easily – even in critical situations. Experience completely stress-free biking without fear with magped.

To the pedals

Complex product development

At magped, all pedals are optimized in terms of weight and robustness using complex FEM simulations as early as the design phase. Our detailed component calculation and optimization using finite element methods (FEM) identifies potential weak points before they become expensive prototypes. From static and dynamic stress analysis to lightweight design, our engineers use these simulations to perform precise durability calculations and topology optimizations. Whatever the magped pedal, we ensure optimal designs based on strength verification and bionics principles.

Extensive test procedures

Since our pedals are already optimized in the design phase with FEM analyses for every gram and maximum load capacity, we build many prototypes that our riders test extensively in many hours on the bike. In addition, each new prototype is tested on our in-house test stand to ensure maximum safety and durability through real physical testing. Once development is complete, a pre-series production specimen is then officially verified by the German Zedler Institute on their test benches and approved with an official test protocol.

This ensures the highest level of quality and safety for our magped pedals!

Why magped pedals?

Designed in Austria by automotive engineers, we are dedicated to innovation, quality and performance.

Circular motion

Ride more efficiently. magped's unique design encourages a full, circular pedal stroke, activating both the front and back of your leg muscles for maximum power output. Feel the difference on every ride, especially when the miles start to add up.

Weight

magpeds pack a punch without weighing you down. Crafted from premium CNC-machined aluminium and featuring either a durable CrMo or ultra-light titanium spindle, they're built to last. Despite the added safety of our magnetic technology, our pedals are surprisingly lightweight and can compete with any high-end pedal on the market.

Positioning

Enjoy a more comfortable ride. Our pedals allow your feet to move freely, reducing ankle strain and preventing discomfort. Easily adjust your foot position to find the perfect angle for climbing or descending, without sacrificing power.

Pulling Force

Our pedals deliver up to a powerful 18 kg of magnetic grip (depending on your pedal and magnet strength), keeping you firmly planted on every ride. Our innovative design prioritises safety. Simply move your foot sideways to instantly release, or pull up vertically in emergency situations.

Shoe plate

Designed for hassle-free riding. Crafted from durable, anti-corrosion steel, our shoe plates are compatible with all SPD bike shoes and installed in minutes with the provided screws. Forget about dirt clogging up your pedals – magpeds keeps performing, ride after ride. Plus, you'll enjoy better grip and comfort when walking in your bike shoes.

Technology

Magped is all about precision engineering. Our pedals are built to last with three high-quality, sealed bearings for smooth, effortless pedalling. Our replaceable pins ensure long-lasting grip. The powerful neodymium magnet is finely tuned with our integrated polymer damper for optimal performance and safety.

Magped magnetic pedals are not equipped with a firm mechanical connection comparable to standard clipless pedals. The magnetic force is impacted by several factors e.g. magnet size, dirt, wear and direction of force applied. An unintended disconnection from the pedals is possible at any point of time.
