Trampe Bicycle Lift
Trampe sykkelheis
The world's first bicycle uphill assist device. Riders place a foot on the pedal and are pulled up the steep Brubakken slope, a fun city experience.
The Trampe opened in 1993 on the steep Brubakken slope in Bakklandet. It was the world's first uphill assist device designed for bicycles, and it was upgraded to CycloCable in 2013. The rider places their right foot on a pedal on the track and is pulled up about 130 metres of slope at roughly 8 km/h by a cable, heading toward Kristiansten Fortress. It is free to use. On your first try, keep your body leaning forward and your right leg straight. It is located right at the eastern end of the Old Town Bridge.
