Considering that the pedal supports all of the weight of the rider, hanging the bike from a pedal shouldn’t put much strain on it.
That said, this seems like an inefficient use of space. One of the pictures on their website show 3 bikes but that would require a garage with really tall walls. My garage is just around 8 feet tall. That’s 2 bikes high. A bike is about 6 feet (2m) long. A garage is about 25 feet long. That’s 8 bikes at best. Put in a window and you lose one bike. I have 11 in the same space by hanging them from the front wheel. I might be able to double that by hanging bikes from the rafters.
