It makes it easier to get your bike going again, particularly when you're carrying a lot of stuff.The system is also shock-resistant because it's completely integrated into the rear wheel's hub and therefore needs very little maintenance.There's a grip shifter to control it.WARNING: the system needs you to stop pedalling for 1 second to change gears.

Double-butted steel frame—lighter and more comfortable.Also available in a step-through frame model, making it easier to get on the bike (for both male and female riders).* Double-butted tube: tube with varying thickness to save weight; thicker at the extremities to make it more solid, and thinner in the middle for a more comfortable ride and to better absorb vibrations.

To prevent punctures and to get the most out of your bike, check the tyre pressure every fortnight when you're using the bike daily, or before each ride if you only use it occasionally. Degrease and lubricate the chain as soon as dirt begins to accumulate. Wash the frame with soapy water; do not use a high-pressure water jet.

Store your bike in a dry, cool place. If riding near the sea, clean your bike regularly to protect it from salt damage.Transporting the step-through frame bike on a boot bike rack may require an adapter bar.

Not suitable for off-road use. As this Dutch bike has very wide handlebars, take care when riding along narrow passages indoors or outdoors.

Designed by our team of engineers and designers in Lille, France.Assembled in the European Union.

"...a bike that we entirely redesigned ourselves. And to get there took a 4-person design team, a host of discussions with bike component engineers, mock-ups, prototypes, and a great number of tests over the course of 4 years.We've worked to design a more robust bike, with parts available from our after-sales service. When it comes to getting around town, we believe that a bike remains one of the best alternatives to driving a car while also providing a means of good exercise."
