The ideal city bike from Batavus
Batavus has designed this bike specifically for the challenges of city cycling. The frame uses a light aluminum alloy and the fixed front fork also contributes to a low weight. This makes it very manoeuvrable in busy traffic. The rear carrier is fitted with a MIK system. This makes it easy to assemble and disassemble various bicycle accessories in no time.
Maintenance-free and robust
A second requirement for a city bike is that it never leaves stranded with a mechanical problem. That is why Batavus has opted for a reliable 3-speed gear hub. The lighting also works on a hub dynamo. Since the critical parts of both the gear and the lighting are concealed in the hub, they are virtually maintenance-free. The same also applies to the reliable roller brakes.
Sleek design
In addition to being an agile and reliable bike, you naturally want your city bike to look a bit hip. The colours are nicely coordinated and the cabling runs neatly through the frame. The best thing about this Fonk 3 is perhaps the lighting. Both the headlight and taillight are horizontally arranged LED bulbs. These are beautifully incorporated into the bars and the luggage carrier. Thanks to the standlight function, where the light stays on for a while when stationary, you are always clearly visible, even if you stop at a red light. With the straight front fork, high rims and the minimalist carrier, this city bike has a trendy, sporty look.
