Our Journey
Back in 2012, after observing the blatant lack of care of one driver who almost sent a cyclist plummeting, Raymond Crane began itching to know about the plausibility of rearward vision for cyclists. With a wetsuit, tape and a compact mirror in hand, Ray invented the first ever RearViz after a long afternoon of building and testing out his innovative concept. With the final prototype ready, he loaded up his wife’s bicycle with his dog in the basket and mirror strapped around his arm and rode the streets. He had the complete vision of what was behind him whilst watching for potential hazards. The innovative nature of ‘Look Forward, See Behind,’ was a concept that needed to be released to the world. This marked the birth of the Classic RearViz Mirror and unsurprisingly, it wasn't long until the RearViz mirror was packaged and worn by cyclists around the globe.
Finding this niche and focusing on it was the key driver of RearViz’ business. As a start-up business, we saw it as essential to maintain a tight focus on a product or service to grow successfully. After six years of networking, inventing new products and establishing a digital space where cyclists can access safety products, we think it’s time to stray away from being a one-product business. Change is scary, we know, but this change is exciting and full of adventure.
This pivot to RVI Active will involve expanding our marketplace to cater to all types of sporting activities and adventures. This re-brand stems from our co-founder, Kayla Crane’s passion for travel, fitness and adventure and the desire to encourage innovation and collaboration with all potential partners. RVI Active will be introducing useful, innovative gadgets to improve the safety and adventurous nature of your sporting activities. Welcome now, to the online marketplace of all things sport! RVI Active promises to deliver you only the best quality products and customer service to ensure everyone is happy. Let’s work together to build an international collaborative sporting marketplace to meet your needs. We are on the hunt for innovative, user-friendly gadgets to be featured on our website whilst also supporting other innovative businesses worldwide. Find something you like? Send it through. We would love to hear from you.
