At A Glance:
Bigfish
is the new European entry in the folding bike category.
Although most folding bikes are made these days in Asia, the Bigfish is strictly a European product. A combination of old world charm and hip Euro fashion, the Bigfish is notable for a variety of reasons.
Visually Appealing
Unlike most folding bikes with small wheels, the
Bigfish has appealing, cool & curvy looks. It's
folding style makes it compact for storage and portability
yet unusually thin when folded.
Functional
The Bigfish folding bike has the geometry of a full
size bike; yet, for storage or transport, it folds
quickly to about one fourth the size of a typical
bike. Like Brompton and Mobiky folders that cost
twice as much, the Bigfish rolls when folded. It's
also the only bike with a solid, 4 point stance
when folded, making it the least likely of any bike
to get knocked over when not in use.
Quality
Made in Italy (the land of Bianchi), the Bigfish
is well made with specially machined parts. Unfold
the bike and it "click, clacks" together,
providing audible reassurance that everything is
locked in place and the bike is ready to ride.
Durability
On the Bigfish, the wheels are designed to fold
and nest within the tubes of the bicycle frame.
Not only does this protect the wheels when the bike
is folded, it also makes the bike more durable.
The rear coaster brake requires no cable or levers
(just pedal backwards) and the gears are protected
inside the rear wheel hub, decreasing maintenance
and maximizing the life of the drivetrain.
Trendy
Folded or unfolded, the Bigfish fits in. Take it
to an outdoor cafe, tuck it beside your desk at
the office, or simply ride it for a breath of fresh
air.
Smart
The Bigfish folds small enough to fit in the trunk
of a Mini; yet, rides like a comfort bike with 26"
wheels. When folded, you can roll it down the aisle
of a transit bus. When riding, you can change gears
whether moving or stopped, pedaling or not. And
if you get caught in the rain, the alloy rain fenders
will keep you clean.
