Pimp my Bike – How to Make Your Folding Bike Unique
Your VELLO Bike is already a true design piece – lightweight, stylish, and perfect for the city. But why not take it a step further and customize your folding bike to match your personal taste? Here are some tips on how to not only enhance its look but also tailor it perfectly to your needs!
1. Pedals: Add Style Under Your Feet
The standard folding pedals on your VELLO are extremely practical for folding and storing your bike. However, if you want a more personalized touch, you can easily swap them out for different pedals. Choose ones with extra grip for sportier rides or those that add a unique visual element to your bike. Note: The left pedal has a reverse thread, so make sure to tighten it properly when installing.
2. Saddle: Comfort Meets Style
The saddle of your bike is crucial for comfort but also plays a major role in the overall look of your VELLO. Whether you prefer a sporty mountain bike saddle or a classic leather one, the choices are endless. A stylish saddle can completely change the appearance of your bike. The timeless Brooks saddles, available at our VELLO Concept Store, are particularly popular. They combine high comfort with classic design, making your bike stand out.
3. Grips: Comfort and Style for Your Hands
Now that you've personalized your pedals, it's time to upgrade your grips! Not only do they add a visual touch, but they also improve comfort on longer rides. In the VELLO Shop, you’ll find a selection of Brooks and Manoli grips that enhance both the aesthetics and feel of your ride.
4. Braking Components: Safety Meets Design
Brakes are one of the most important parts of your bike, but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring! Magura, a renowned German brake manufacturer, offers various colored accents for brake calipers, clamps, and brake levers. Even if you don’t have Magura brakes, you can still upgrade your bike’s design with colorful brake cables, rotors, or rim brakes. Caution: Modifying brake components requires expertise, as they are essential for your safety.
5. Frame Stickers: Add Personality to Your Bike
Your VELLO Bike is ready for the road, but does it need a final touch of personality? Frame stickers are the perfect solution! Reflective Berlin offers stylish and functional stickers that not only add flair but also provide extra frame protection. Whether you prefer bold colors or subtle reflective designs, stickers bring individuality and vibrancy to your bike. Visit our Concept Store at Neubaugasse 33, 1070 Vienna, for a wide selection of Reflective Berlin stickers.
6. Tires: The Right Look and Performance
Tires are not only essential for performance but can also be a visual highlight of your bike. Whether you prefer speeding through the city on asphalt or venturing off-road, the right tires make all the difference. Depending on the model, our bikes come equipped with Schwalbe Marathon, Kojak, or Billy Bonkers tires, known for their durability and performance. Looking for a different option? Make sure to choose the correct size to ensure safety and comfort.
