ABOUT PEAK MOTO
Nuestra historia de origen es la siguiente...
La fundadora y directora de Peak Moto, Amanda Phoenix, acababa de mudarse a Australia como mochilera en 2015. Después de destrozar su bicicleta en un accidente y darse cuenta de que los objetos duros (por ejemplo, el teléfono y las llaves) debían alejarse de los órganos blandos, comenzó una pequeña empresa llamada Flying Solo Gear Co en febrero de 2016.
El primer producto de FSGC fue la humilde riñonera y desde entonces ha crecido hasta llegar a ciclistas de todos los ámbitos de la vida en todo el mapa a través del mensaje #BEBRAVE. Apoyándose en la formación de Amanda en movimiento humano y biomecánica, FSGC ahora diseña y desarrolla una gama de artículos de transporte ultracómodos, como mochilas, bolsas para las piernas y equipaje montado en bicicletas (bolsas traseras y bolsas de lona).
En enero de 2023, FSGC amplió su primera tienda física. Empezamos a quedarse pequeño el espacio, por lo que nos mudamos a una ubicación un poco más grande en junio de 2023 y llamamos a nuestra nueva tienda Peak Moto. De esta manera no solo podríamos operar FSGC, sino también vender otras marcas que amamos bajo el paraguas de Peak Moto.
Nuestro nombre, Peak Moto, encarna nuestro compromiso de alcanzar nuevas alturas, superar límites y abrazar la emoción que proviene del mundo de las motocicletas.
Peak Moto se considera una empresa hermana y distribuidora de Flying Solo Gear Co, así como el distribuidor de todos los productos MotoGirl en Australia y Nueva Zelanda.
Peak Moto y Flying Solo Gear Co comparten los mismos valores de servicio al cliente premium y el amor por el viaje.
Somos orgullosamente amigables con LGBTQIA+ 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

She is also there to make sure all systems are 'go' and that all customers are happy. Her favourite type of riding is multi-day touring - as long as twisties are involved!
MELBOURNE TEAM
Steph (left) not only manages the finances for Peak Moto, but is the hyper-analytical, super-spreadsheeting powerhouse of the team. Without her expertise, our backend would look like dropped spaghetti. She currently rides a Yamaha MT-09, and loves long distance trips, including a casual 4000km ride from Melbourne to Sunshine Coast and back in 1 week. Steph values fairness and loyalty, and offers an unbiased opinion on how to solve problems that arise.

She's currently a masters student in Bioethics and rides a Honda CB125F. Erin is intuitive, attentive, and occasionally brings in pastries for the team, just because.
BRISBANE TEAM
Grace (left) has just begun her riding journey, but is actively putting some kilometres under her belt on her new Yamaha R3! She is friendly, personable, and relatable, ensuring all the customers she meets feels at ease. Grace assisted heavily in building our Brisbane shop and brings lots of great energy to the team every day.
