The Ride + The Moment
Clarity often strikes in the sketchiest moments.
Our founder was flying down a narrow ribbon of singletrack above the Colorado River in the Moab desert — the kind of trail where every pedal stroke has consequences and every corner demands focus. He was moving fast. Maybe too fast. A ricochet off a boulder. A foot that refused to unclip.
Suddenly, he was dangling off the cliff’s edge, fingers clinging to rock, hundreds of feet of empty air below.
It’s the kind of moment no rider ever forgets — not just for the fear, but for the realization that follows.
From that moment, REMtech Magnetic Bike Pedals were born.
“I was lucky. But afterward, I couldn’t shake the question: Why didn’t I have more control? What could I have done differently? That’s when the idea of a better pedal began to take shape.”
Craig Payne, Founder
The Gap With Existing Pedal Selection
If you’ve ever felt like your foot was stuck at the worst possible time… or blown off your pedal during a techy section…
You’re not alone.
Flat pedals give you freedom, but not as much retention. Clipless pedals offer security, but not without some commitment — or the right of passage tip-overs. Many riders are left somewhere in between, wondering if there’s something that feels better.
The truth is, pedal confidence isn’t just for pros and rippers. It matters for everyone — from new riders to adaptive athletes to those of us chasing weekend trail therapy.
Where REMtech Comes In
That close call on the Moab trail led to countless hours of tinkering, testing, and trail riding. The goal? A pedal that would hold your foot securely when you need it — and let go naturally when you don’t.
The result is REMtech — a magnetic pedal system that fills the gray between connection and freedom. It’s not trying to be flat. It’s not trying to be clipless. It’s simply trying to give riders more control, confidence, and choice on the trail.
What makes the system different:
- Strong magnetic connection for secure contact
- Flat platform feel so you can reposition or bail naturally
- Easy release — no twisting, no guesswork
- Confidence on demand — whether you’re climbing, sending, or flowing
They’re intuitive. Simple. And designed to work with your body — not against it.
A Pedal Designed From Experience
REMtech wasn’t built in a lab. It wasn’t a brainstorm from a boardroom. It was built from a moment. An “oh, sh*t” one.
And while most riders (hopefully) won’t find themselves hanging off a cliff, we all know what it feels like to want more confidence — whether it’s a techy section, a steep climb, or the mental game after an injury.
REMtech Magnetic Bike Pedals are about riding with trust — in your gear, in your footing, in yourself.
“They have boosted my confidence on rough trails because my feet stay where they need to be and only come off when I want them to. Would absolutely recommend these pedals to anyone, especially if your feet tend to hop off of flats when pedaling on rough trails like mine used to.”
– REMtech Pedal Rider
The truth is, everyone rides for different reasons.
To get out of your head.
To push your limits.
To stay grounded — or to fly.
REMtech is just one piece of gear in the mix. But for a growing crew of riders — it’s become a quiet kind of confidence on the trail. Not a fix-all. Not for everyone. But for many of us, it’s a new kind of pedal experience. One that feels more… intuitive.
Tested by riders who needed something better. And built so you can ride with more confidence — wherever the trail takes you.
