Über Sayle Cycle
Sayle Cycle wurde 2023 in München gegründet.
Die Idee
Das Fahrrad entstand im Sommer 2022 im Rahmen der Industriedesign-Bachelorarbeit von Marcel Sayle, zum Thema »Mobilität in Städten«. Es verbindet persönliche Vorkenntnisse aus der Fahrrad- und Metallbaubranche mit dem neu-erworbenen Wissen im Bereich des Industriedesigns.
Die Idee zu einem etwas anderen Lastenrad ist das Resultat einer ausführlichen Recherche, eines strukturierten Design- und Konstruktionsprozesses, diversen Prototypen und vielen Testfahrten.
»Für mich ist ein langlebiges und damit nachhaltiges Fahrrad technisch ausgereift, unauffällig und von jedem Mechaniker mit Standardteilen zu reparieren. Die Fahreigenschaften, Usability und Optik runden das Konzept ab.« — Marcel Sayle
Das Team
Wir sind nicht nur passionierte Radfahrer und begeisterte Schrauber, sondern jeder von uns ist mit der Materie »Fahrrad« seit vielen Jahren intensiv verbunden. Als Industriedesigner achten wir nicht nur auf ästhetische und ergonomische Belange der NutzerInnen, sondern legen sehr viel Wert auf Funktionalität, Langlebigkeit und ökologischen Fußabdruck. Das Team besteht aus:
- Marcel Sayle
- Benedikt Hassert
- Dominik Mohr

Our story
In search of the perfect bike concept
Our aim was clear from the outset: we build bikes that go with you through everyday life and make you want to go on a cycling adventure at the weekend — both spontaneous trips to the lake and the nearest beer garden, or on an extended cycling and trekking tour.
Robust, simple, functional. No frills, but with character. A good bike is inconspicuous and you hardly notice it — it is comfortable and works reliably. Its functionality and attractive appearance are the focus of attention, not its defects and problems.
We were inspired by the station wagon in automotive history to create a sporty vehicle with extra storage space and a high level of everyday practicality. What was ridiculed back then is indispensable today. We are transferring precisely this concept to the bicycle.
For all those who don't want to choose between practicality and style
A new bike category
Each type of bike has its strengths: road bikes and gravel bikes are ideal for fast progress on and off the road, mountain and all-terrain bikes are agile on rough terrain, touring bikes and randonneurs are designed for comfort on long journeys.
But which concept is best suited to everyday life, the daily commute to work, the weekly shop and the bikepacking trip at the weekend? The № skillfully combines the characteristics of several bike types without compromising on riding fun. The № was developed for the urban and hectic city jungle as well as for extended rides in the countryside. With its integrated cargo area and sporty geometry, it combines the practical advantages of a cargo bike with the stability and agility of an ATB and cross bike. The № describes a new path and defines its own category: the lowtail
Sustainable, durable & repairable
Cycling is a sustainable means of transportation per se. For us, sustainability starts with the manufacturing process. That's why the № is made from high-quality and environmentally friendly 4130 chromoly steel, welded, powder-coated, sealed and assembled by us near Munich. No far-east imports with long, environmentally harmful logistics chains. Short distances, low emissions — and full control over product quality. For us, sustainability also means product longevity. For this reason, our bikes are robust and solidly built, equipped with high-quality components and designed for many decades of reliable use - without being heavy. Thanks to the use of standardized standard components, the № can be repaired and upgraded worldwide for a long time — by any bicycle mechanic.
