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.
Moto Pedals Classic
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.

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.
