Subscription Foxie 18Our Story
Who are we?
We are a group of fathers and uncles who have spent hundreds of euros on bicycles for their children. We realized that buying them a new one almost every two years is neither financially nor ecologically sustainable. We were looking for a place where we could rent a high-quality children's bike, but we couldn't find such an option anywhere.
Why do we do this?
We did some research on the market, but also among our friends - many expensive bikes lie unused in garages, basements, attics... We decided to change that. We have found a way to save your wallet, nature and time.
How do we turn worries into joy at BikeUp?
In contrast to the outdated model of owning things, we pay attention to their efficient and sustainable use. Together with cycling experts, we designed the Foxie ultra-light children's bike, which you can rent with us for a monthly subscription. When your child grows out of the Foxie, after 12 months we will exchange the Foxie for a larger model free of charge. We refurbish discarded bicycles and donate them when serviced to children from disadvantaged families and to orphanages.
The construction and safety features of the bikes exceed the requirements of the European standard ENSO8098. We have collaborated with the best in the cycling industry - we have been involved in the development, construction and testing of the bikes. Thanks to this, today we can say that Foxie meets the strictest quality standards:
Weight:
Foxies are designed with light weight in mind, which is essential for the easy handling of the bike by a child. The frame is made of aluminum (for example, the Foxie 16 model weighs 3 kilograms less than the best-selling bikes of this size).
Safe View:
An important feature is also a comfortable upright sitting, which we achieved by using higher adjustable handlebars. The child feels comfortable and has a good view.
Stability:
We built on a larger wheelbase, i.e. the distance from the center of the front and rear wheels. A slightly longer bike is more stable when riding and makes it easier for a small biker to get started on a bike.
Simple braking:
