The founder had constantly struggled with awkward, messy storage locations for his bikes and had six bikes stolen over a twenty year period. Bicycle prices have skyrocketed over the past 15 years as they have become higher-tech,

The movement towards creating tax incentives on e-bikes is the latest tailwind pushing the e-bike revolution. While subsidies lower the financial barrier for an e-bike purchase and get more people riding bikes, the problem with where to park all these new e-bikes persists. ALPEN is 100% focused on solving this problem by working with the private sector to accommodate cyclists on both ends of their commute.

Let's face it, bikes don't make great roommates. ALPEN Bike Capsule offers the ultimate security and protection for valuable bikes and all your cycling gear without sacrificing valuable interior space. No more lugging dirty bikes through lobbies, up elevators and down hallways, scratching walls and making a mess along the way. Finally, your tenants can reclaim their kitchens, bedrooms, living room walls, or wherever bikes are currently stored, and make the most out of underutilized garage square footage, outdoor spaces and common areas. They'll thank you for enabling them to rest easy, in their newly enhanced square footage, knowing that their bike is locked away, safe and secure, in its own germ-free custom home.
ALPEN Bike Capsules are built tough in the USA. Heavy duty, roto-molded construction is extremely durable and made to last.
