Back in 2012, Physical Therapist and Pedal PT founder Kevin Schmidt had a problem. As a high-volume PT BikeFitter who sees 400+ BikeFits/year, he was frustrated by the quality and capacity of the current trainers in the market that focused exclusively on road bikes with weight-maximums of only 250Lbs of rider-plus-bike. Many of his clients rode larger gravel and adventure bikes, full squish MTBs, 29ers, tandems, cargo/delivery bikes, and bigger e‑bikes looking for BikeFit — and the commercially available trainers would often break, bend, or not allow the axle spacing or tire clearance required to help these riders— His frustration would soon turn to innovation, creating the first prototype of The Portland in 2018, eventually leading to full US manufacturing with Onyx Racing Components in 2023.
