SINGLE SPEED CYCLES: Lets customers personalise their dream bike from home
The Melbourne-based bicycle retailer offers a sleek ride for people who appreciate simplicity.
The company specialises in selling single speed and fixie bikes that are the perfect solution for commuters and riders who need a no-nonsense, low maintenance, reliable bike. They’re also more affordable, thanks to the smaller number of parts. Tapping an unmet need in the market for great-looking and functioning bikes, without the palaver, the brand has earned itself a loyal following and a reputation for customer-centric innovation.

Gear shift in how people shop for bikes
In the past, the challenge of manufacturing, displaying, and photographing every bike and its various configurations was not practical or cost-effective. Customers had to visit a showroom to try out the bikes and discuss configurations with salespeople.
Single Speed Cycles needed a way to up the ante on its eCommerce offering and personalise the buying experience by showcasing its full product range online. The company wanted to empower customers to view multiple looks, colours and configurations, giving them the ability to find the perfect look, size and functioning bike.
It also wanted to support customers by showing them how the bike will fit when stored at home, without asking them to get out a measuring tape – all while delivering a customer experience that lived up to the expectations of its dedicated followers who’ve visited Single Speed Cycles in-store.

Approach & Solution
Bicycles AR Pilot
Single Speed Cycles partnered with Augmented Reality and 3D platform, Plattar, to develop a solution that allows Single Speed Cycle’s customers the ability to configure and visualise the bike they spec to their needs.
Using Plattar’s unique multi-touch point deployment capability, Single Speed Cycles worked with the integrated SaaS company to create an interactive 3D Product Viewer and a webAR-powered “View in Home” function.
Experience it yourself
The solution was then easily integrated with the retailer’s eCommerce platform. Plattar-powered 3D product visualisation are now embedded into each product page – allowing customers to explore various bike options, including size, colours, finishes and features, as well as placing the model in situ, correct to scale. All a customer needs to do is to select the ‘View in Home’ function which intuitively connects to their smartphone camera, allowing a 3D image of the product to be overlaid in their chosen space. Customers can instantly see how their desired Single Speed Cycle product will fit, look and work in the context of their space – whether it’s the living room, an apartment hallway, bike rack or garage – before making the purchase.
And the benefits to Single Speed Cycles ?
“ The quality of our products in 3D is exceptional and reflects the standard we at Single Speed Cycles aim to provide. Working with Plattar has had an immediate impact on our business. They have provided us with an efficient one-stop solution to all our 3D and AR needs – today and in the future. ”

Client Testimonial
“ By partnering with Plattar we’ve made strides in our eCommerce approach and business that we didn’t think were possible. In a matter of weeks they helped us to create an online buying experience that is strides ahead of our competitors. Our customers can now browse, experience every bike in 3D. They can be sure that what they see on screen is what will arrive on their doorstep. The quality of Plattar’s visualisation tools are exceptional. It’s as good as being in-store. Plattar has also made things much easier for our team. They’re not wasting time cataloguing and displaying products, and instead are spending more time with customers talking about our bikes and personalising the service. Plattar’s basic online training gave us all the skills we needed to self-manage the platform. We look forward to working with Plattar to make full use of the end-to-end, commerce solutions & interactive features. ”
