Our sweepers are bike-towed trailers with an electrically powered brush. They remove rocks, glass, nails, and leaves, making bike lanes and roadsides safer for cyclists.
There are three types of sweepers (see tech specs here):
pick-up: debris is collected into bins for disposal, typically in urban settings
push-aside: debris is pushed to the side, typically in rural settings
hybrid: combines the pick-up and push-aside functions

Features
Pulled by any bicycle
Our sweepers can be pulled by any bike, although e-bikes are helpful on uphills.
Affordable
Dedicated bike lane sweeper trucks can cost upward of 200,000 USD. Our sweepers cost orders of magnitude less to purchase and to maintain.
Electrically powered brush
The custom-made brush is powered by an electric motor connected to a battery mounted on the sweeper.
Adaptable
The adjustable hitch has a standard Burley connection to the towing bike. It can accommodate any rear wheel size from 20 to 29 inches.
Wireless control
A wireless on-off switch clamps to the handlebar. The brush motor is turned on and off while riding.
Compact
Our sweepers are slightly over 3 feet wide (1 meter) and can be lifted by two people.
"We've found the hybrid bike lane sweeper to be effective and with several benefits. It's easy to set up and use, it's highly efficient at picking up various types and sizes of road debris, and our staff enjoys riding e-bikes and using the sweeper."
"It’s pretty satisfying to have that immediate kind of gratifying experience of riding your bike over and picking up all that dirt."
"Thank you again for building these machines. We took the sweeper out today for a joint clean up with two of the council districts in our area today, and it was a big hit!"
About us
The eco bike lane sweeper project was started by Pierre during the COVID-19 pandemic. After he built successful proof-of-concept sweepers, Cedric joined the team for assistance with design and manufacturing. We are both cyclists who are passionate about making bike lanes safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
