VELLO SUB has recently been awarded a 2023 Green Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Thanks to the short standard length of 180 cm, it can be easily transported on public transport and reduced to a width of 29 cm without tools by means of retractable pedals and handlebars.

The handlebars on the saddle allow the child to hold on while riding or to lift the VELLO SUB more easily.
Thanks to the height-adjustable handlebars and the different seat posts, the bike fits everyone between 150 cm and 200 cm.
