Funding Campaigns
The Travelmate is a cleverly designed, award-winning harness that finally solves the last-mile luggage problem for bike and scooter riders. A first-time campaign from BellBoy, but the design pedigree speaks volumes.

This is BellBoy's first Kickstarter campaign, so there's no crowdfunding delivery history yet. However, this Italian startup out of Ravenna has already earned serious credibility through multiple design awards, including the Good Design Award, MUSE Design Award, NY Product Design Award, and French Design Award. The product is patented and clearly well-engineered, even if the team is still proving itself in the crowdfunding space.
The Travelmate is a universal foldable harness that turns your rolling trolley into a backpack you can take on any bike or e-scooter. It works with any suitcase size, features vertically adjustable straps for a comfortable ride, and folds completely flat when not in use. The engineering disappears until you need it. It's the kind of elegantly simple idea that makes you wonder why it didn't exist already.
BellBoy's whole philosophy centers on sustainable last-mile mobility. Instead of hopping in a taxi or rideshare, the Travelmate lets you grab a bike-share and ride to your hotel with your luggage on your back. It promotes micromobility as the most practical and eco-friendly way to handle that gap between the station and your destination, reducing carbon footprints one trip at a time.
The Super Early Bird single Travelmate sold out at just €34 (~$40), and the regular Early Bird at €38 (~$44) is also gone. The current Kickstarter Special is €42 (~$49) for one harness, which is 10% off the retail MSRP of €47. For pairs, the Super Early Bird X2 at €62 (~$73) offers 35% off MSRP. For a patented, award-winning travel accessory under $50, that's a strong deal.
Very transportable and convenient for travelers!
