About BASTILLE
BASTILLE is a premium French urban bicycle brand based in Paris, known for its innovative approach to city mobility.
Founded in 2018 by Gilles Henry, the company has developed the world's first folding bike with full-size wheels, addressing common challenges like storage and bike theft. The flagship product, the Bastille bike, features a patented folding mechanism that allows it to fold in under 10 seconds. It is designed with an aluminum frame, carbon fork, and a Gates carbon belt drive, making it both practical and elegant for urban commuting. In 2023, BASTILLE expanded its offerings with the BASTILLE E, an electric version of its folding bike. The company targets city dwellers looking for a secure and stylish bike for daily use, weekend trips, and travel. BASTILLE sells its bikes online and through a network of partner stores in France, with plans to expand across Europe. The company emphasizes mechanical ingenuity and sustainability, avoiding high-tech features in favor of user-friendly design. With a team of 25 employees, BASTILLE has raised significant venture funding to support its growth.
