Peak Moto founder and Director, Amanda Phoenix, had just moved to Australia as a backpacker in 2015. After totalling her bike in a crash and realising that hard items (eg. phone and keys) shouldn't be carried next to soft organs, she started a small motorcycle bag business called Flying Solo Gear Co in February 2016.
FSGC's first product was the humble bumbag, and has since grown to reach riders from all walks of life through the message #BEBRAVE. Leaning on Amanda's educational background in human movement and biomechanics, FSGC now designs and develops a range of ultra-comfortable carry goods such as backpacks, leg bags, and bike-mounted luggage (tailbags and duffels).
In January 2023, FSGC expanded into its first bricks and mortar store. The space started out as a showroom for the bags, but Amanda had a passion for women's gear due to her own experience of being unable to find gear that fits. She reinvested all revenue from the business into expanding the range and buying more gear until the tiny 29sqm shop was bursting at the seams.
In June 2023, FSGC relocated to a larger space and rebranded as Peak Moto. This new setup allows us to continue operating FSGC separately while also offering other brands we love under one roof. Currently, 70% of Peak Moto’s business comes from our e-commerce store, with the remaining 30% from our physical shop.
The name Peak Moto embodies our commitment to reaching new heights, pushing boundaries, and embracing the exhilaration that comes from the world of motorcycles.
Peak Moto is considered both a sister company and distributor of Flying Solo Gear Co, as well as the distributor for all MotoGirl products within Australia and New Zealand.
Peak Moto and Flying Solo Gear Co share the same values of premium customer service and the love of the ride.
