The Babel Bikes are built throughout with high quality components including Shimano Steps motor, with Di2 gear change (Babel Electric bikes only), Alphine Hub gears and Hydraulic disk brakes. They are also fitted with a lot of components that most bikes don't even have, such as a custom made seat, wing mirrors, indicators, hazard flashers, seat belts, auto-alarm system etc. And of course included in the cost is the price of all the safety tests - features that are unique to the Babel. So in short, the Babel Bikes may not be the cheapest bikes on the market - they are, however, the safest. And for Indiegogo buyers there are BIG savings to be made whilst the campaign is running (up to £500 off) whilst UK income tax payers (in regular employment) can benefit further from the UK Govts Cycle to Work Scheme' - see www.babelbike.com/discounts for full details, then come back to THIS page and buy the '£103 Perk' to secure this option.

We aim to deliver our Babel Bikes to our first customers in May 2016 and have created a detailed schedule in order for this to occur. Our team are experienced members of the cycle industry and between them have created hundreds of thousands of bicycles before. We have highly experienced manufacturing partners and factories in China and Taiwan lined up already. There is of course much work to do in the year ahead, but we have a first class team and will keep you fully posted on progress over the course of the coming year. The Babel Bike has two international patents pending.
