The philosophy of the project: a folding bike with large wheels.
At the start, everything started from an observation. The observation that many urban cyclists live with the fear of having their bikes stolen , the stress of imagining how to park them . The observation also that many would like to switch to cycling in their daily mobility but are slowing down because of these same reasons. The inventor of Bastille has made it his mission to develop the use of bicycles, to get more people on the saddle in their daily lives.
The magic of folding.
The Bastille bike folds according to your desires, your route of the day and it accompanies you everywhere in your daily life. It must be synonymous with pleasure, its folding must only take a few seconds, two times and three movements. So that with a flick of the hand it unfolds, and a few turns of the wrist it disappears next to you. It was imagined after 8 years of testing, a lot of ingenuity and a little magic. It was necessary to rethink the folding kinematics of a large bicycle, which had never been done to date. Thus, the folding of our bikes is exceptionally fluid, it extends the movements of your body and becomes a simple everyday gesture.
The practicality of the folding bike.
Practicality is an essential aspect of folding bikes, designed above all to be taken everywhere, to follow you on your daily trips while lightening your mind. Bastille is the first foldable bike with big wheels for women and men, its folding is magical and only takes a few seconds. In its “T” position, it can be transported anywhere. Roll it like a suitcase, especially on a station platform, on public transport or in your elevator. In its “O” position, it is in its most compact version and takes the form of two large wheels one on top of the other.
So, you can easily store it under an entrance piece of furniture, at your side in a restaurant, in a car trunk or on the train, protected by its cover . It opens up endless possibilities for you to blend into your daily journey, your lifestyle, like a faithful traveling companion.
The comfort of big wheels.
The unique features of our folding bike make it an ideal choice for demanding urban cyclists. One of the most notable aspects of our bike, which sets it apart from regular folding bikes, is the size of its wheels. This is a major advantage for driving in the city and tackling urban obstacles, the large wheels better absorb vibrations and micro shocks from the road and give an impression of smoother driving, they have greater inertia and thus offer better stability for your bike.
