The product is a van-integrated, slide-out bike workstation designed for adult cyclists aged 25–50 who travel frequently for cycling events and outdoor adventures. It solves the issue of limited and inconvenient maintenance space while on the move, providing secure bike storage, a stable work surface, and integrated tool and wheel compartments. A sliding rail mechanism allows users to easily pull out and set up the workstation, enabling efficient on-the-go repairs.

Aimed at medium to high-income cycling enthusiasts, the product enhances convenience, mobility, and functionality while maintaining a sleek and durable aesthetic through industrial materials. Designed for use at campsites, race events, and roadside stops, it ensures cyclists have everything they need wherever they travel. The final outcome is a functional prototype of the slide-out storage and workstation system showcasing compact design and modern practicality.
