Ingeniously simple. Cycling requires human propulsion and only on a bicycle is it possible to transport oneself so economically, so naturally and with so much freedom. Since its invention, the principle of the chain-driven bicycle is not only still valid, but also unchanged. And that is fascinating. Great bicycle ideas continue to follow this principle and the "Balloonbike" concept not only makes cycling more comfortable – it’s so simple. Instead of complicated suspension technology the natural absorption of bumps is made possible by the pneumatic cushioning of the special, wide tires. This small attribute has significant consequences. It is not only fundamental to a new riding experience, but has also brought this ingenious cycling principle up-to-date From Balloon tires to Balloonbikes. Balloon tires were fashionable in the first half of the last century and were developed to counteract poor road conditions. However, they were heavy and slow. Nevertheless the basic theory from that time remains valid and is sustained in the Balloonbikes of today. Only nowadays SCHWALBE tires far outperform balloon tires from back then, so that Balloonbikes equipped with BIG APPLE broad tires roll easily and are completely effortless to steer. The Balloonbike trend began in 2001 with the BIG APPLE. |
