Description Gran Calipso folding Fat bike 24

The RodArs electric Gran Calipso is one of Bikelec’s tempting offers for cruising stylishly through the urban jungle on a comfortable and easy to mount stepthrough-framed electric folding bike. It offers comfort and eye-catching, fat 24 inch diameter wheels, city range of 50-65km, surprising strength, and a wide range of features. It has the same 4 inch wide wheels and folding frame as other models in the catalogue, such as the Calipso, Fatty, Rocketball (20 x 4 inches wide), and Cuore, which has the same frame but 26 x 2.3 inch wide wheels.

As with all Bikelec’s models, the rider’s fun starts with the purchasing process at our shop as you enjoy choosing the options to customise your bike and making it match your needs. So, for example, although the Gran Calipso base model features a rear hub 8FUN 250w power rated motor and 45 Newton metres of torque, you can choose between two additional options of 500 Watts (hub mounted) and 1000 Watts (mid-drive). The latter boasts a full 160 Newton metres of torque, which can turn the eye-catching city Gran Calipso into a true thoroughbred that will eat up the kilometres. You can also fully kit it out with up to 24 Amp batteries (depending on the motor you choose), with a 5 speed display (or even 9 if you opt for the mid-drive motor), and the option of mounting a grip throttle.

The Gran Calipso hugs the road with its fat, more than 4 inch wide, Kenda tyres, fitted on strong aluminium double-walled wheels with steel spokes and copper reinforced heads.

To control your speed and come to a sharp stop if necessary, the Gran Calipso features mechanical Shimano M375 brakes with 180 and 160 millimetre diameter discs on the front and rear wheels respectively. These can also be optionally replaced with the hydraulic Shimano system, which offers greater control and progressive braking.

The ease that the stepthrough frame offers when mounting is supplemented by the folding, height adjustable ZOOM handlebar, which allows riders of different sizes to cycle through the city in a comfortable upright position.

Long, steep climbs are easily tackled with the Gran Calipso. 8 speeds, offered by the efficient, light, and proven Shimano Acera system, are more than enough to keep up the pace, with the right gear for every moment of the ride.

To satisfy the most demanding of riders, the comfort offered by the Fat tyres when riding over the roughest streets or roads is boosted by PROMAX seatstay suspension, which hugely reduces the effects of bumps and uneven terrain on our spine.

Other features also make the Gran Calipso a great choice for city riding. The mudguards protect our clothes from dirt, whilst high-powered front and rear LED lights light the way and make us visible to drivers and pedestrians. Although the base model doesn’t include baskets, you can add a front fork basket which can carry up to 10kgs and a rear basket with integrated lights that can carry up to 25kgs.

Lastly, another one of the Gran Calipso base model’s charms is its competitive price and the versatility offered by its fat 24 x 4 inch wide wheels and folding frame (folding frames that are good value for money are hard to come by in this range).The extra costs of the customisation options are also in line with today’s market prices. All this makes this folding electric bike a really viable alternative. As with all its models, Bikelec makes a concerted effort to offer products that meet a wide range of tastes, needs, and budgets.
