Lisbonize

..and we are sure, that some nice products will find their way to Portugal. Our main target to look for were products that are generally usefull for “Urban Mobility” and practical use. But some “gadgets” we couldn´t resist..

First of all the terrible senseless and forbidden toy from Monkey Electric/USA:

The MonkeyLectric Monkey Light is a revolutionary bike light that keeps you visible. It features 32 full color LEDs and cutting edge visual effects. The rugged, all weather design is perfect for anyone that needs to be visible biking at night. The Monkey Light attaches to the spokes of nearly any bike wheel.

So far – so nice! It is just a joke but what hell of a joke! We will test it in the light version and keep an eye on the professional kit, that allows free programmable words and images. That is not longer a toy, that will be a very helpful addition to our fleet of Bullitt advert bikes. Still it is not available in Europe, the US-guys want to give their home market the preference to “put their lights on” first. No problem, we are young and we are patient..

# 2 on our hit list of nice toys are the famous fiexed-gear bikes from Fixie-Inc, Germany:

Or in the own words of the founders Recep and Holger:

One step forward. The technique reduced to its essentials. Pure with no frills. This bike is oozing understatement; so much, that it demands attention. Don’t label single speed as a rebellion against today‘s engineered world; to us it’s a logical evolution. Single Speed offers more than its reduced appearance would suggest. Minimum service, maximum dependability.

We do not yet know, who will really drive like hell on Portuguese roads with a bike like that, or that or even that.

But if you are afraid of our roads, go off them and use that!

And first of all and not at last:

They are made of STEEL!!

This was a short glance of the “Boy-toys”. Tomorrow we will present more products for the more serious orientated..
