The design of the Batavus BUB uses the paperclip as a theme for its functional simplicity and iconic personality. The BUB (Batavus Utility Bike) transforms the legendary ‘granny bike’ into an all new ‘city bike’. Incorporating those same qualities as before, the BUB has a comfortable, durable and lightweight construction, with chunky extra-wide tyres. It is fun to ride and fits the needs perfectly of modern day city life. The innovative single bent tube and the interchangeable coloured parts create a unique and customisable bike, full of personal expression. The accessories, for example the panniers are also designed with the paperclip in mind, merging functionality and fashion.
With its extensive awareness of consumer and mobility trends, VanBerlo has created a unique new image for the Batavus brand that stands out in the modern urban environment.
