Berlin, Germany’s Moto Bicycle Innovations has released the MOTO Pedals – unique pedals that are super flat, have no bearings, and are actually made of wood. MOTO says they are perfect for the urban rider, like the commuter, fixed gear rider, or even the flat land BMXer.

The Moto Pedals are “dead simple, super comfy, and provide unrivaled grip under urban (non-muddy) conditions”.

The Classic and the Colour are both constructed of a waterproof, multi-layered wooden frame. The Reflex is made with a fiberglass composite body with high-quality reflective tape that is available in white, yellow, orange, pink, blue, and green.

The Classic Pedal is MOTO’s original and most premium pedal, which they feel are the best option for daily city commuting. It also includes their lightest, CNC machined and hollowed chomo-steel axle, an exclusive for the Classic Pedal.

Underneath the grip tape are two “ultra-thin, fiberglass-composite pedal platforms which are decorated with “beautiful, weather-sealed and lacquered wooden frames”. These allow your foot to rock naturally with the pedal.

• Hollow CNC-machined and nitrocarburized chromo-steel axle, corrosion-free with reduced friction and weight• GFK-composite pedal platform shells that are high impact grade, designed to eliminate dirt and debris in the bearings• Zinc-coated steel fasteners for corrosion resistance to ensure easy serviceability• Weather-resistant coarse grit grip tape to optimize traction with all daily footwear• FSC-certified and CNC-machined and sealed wooden frame to add stability and style• Adjustable width positions between axle and pedal platforms for individual comfort

The Colour Pedal, which comes in Red, Balck, or White is built around the hardened and machined, solid stainless steel axle that is encased in the “high impact strength reinforced composite platform, allowing it to rotate as needed”.

The color-matched grip tape is applied to all 70.3 square centimeters of flat surface. The sturdy wooden frame is uniformly stained to match the other outer surfaces. It is “weather sealed in the same fashion as a premium wooden boat”.

The Reflex is MOTO’s “newest, lightest, and best-selling pedal to date”. It helps to increase visibility with high-quality reflective tape that you can get in a wide range of colors.

The Reflex is both reduced in weight and price compared to the other two models, but still keeping true to the unique advantages of the higher-end pedals, like the machined axle, a thin, high-impact resistant platform, and premium weather-resistant grip tape resulting in the same smart and simple form.
