🇫🇷GB02, LE VÉLO ÉCLECTRIQUE (🇬🇧⬇️)
Vous connaissiez peut-être une des particularités de notre GB02, un cadre typé ALL-ROAD, mais qui peut aussi être configuré en version gravel. Sur la base d’un même montage, vous pouvez passer rapidement d’une configuration à l’autre. Désormais, grace à notre partenaire Kynamic Service, le GB02 peut également devenir un E-GB02 en quelques minutes, puis revenir à la version «musculaire» aussi rapidement. D’éclectique, le GB02 devient carrément éclectrique.
En voici trois exemples représentatifs.
Les trois vélos sont équipés du kit KYNAMIC E-PURE 250W. Le capteur est intégré au moteur-moyeu, le contrôleur est dans le support de batterie, et le HMI est intégré à la batterie. L'ensemble étant relié par un unique câble que l’on peut faire courir discrètement le long de la base gauche. A l’usage, ce kit offre trois niveaux d’assistance qui offrent une sensation particulièrement naturelle au pédalage. Pas de coup de pied au derrière au démarrage, mais une accélération progressive et naturelle. Du coup à l’inverse d’autres systèmes plus « mobylette » on peut conserver un rythme de pédalage assez élevé, et jouer du dérailleur comme avec un vélo classique. Un comportement qui nous a franchement séduit, et qui avec la possibilité de montage et démontage ultra aisée, correspond totalement à la philosophie du GB02.

🇬🇧GB02: THE ECLECTRIC BIKE
You may already be familiar with one of our GB02’s key features: an "all-road" style frame that can also be setup for gravel riding. Using the same basic build, you can quickly switch between configurations. Now, thanks to our partner KYNAMIC, the GB02 can also transform into an E-GB02 in just minutes—and revert to the standard "unplugged" version just as fast. GB02 then takes versatility to a whole new level : eclectricism.
Here are three representative examples.
All three bikes are equipped with the KYNAMIC E-PURE 250W kit. The sensor is integrated into the hub motor, the controller sits within the battery mount, and the HMI is built into the battery itself. The entire system connects via a single cable that can be routed discreetly along the left chainstay. In use, the kit offers three levels of assistance that provide a remarkably natural pedaling feel. There is no sudden "kick in the butt" when starting off—just smooth, progressive acceleration. Unlike other systems that feel more like a moped, this setup allows you to maintain a high cadence and shift gears just as you would on a standard bike. We were genuinely impressed by this ride quality; combined with the ultra-easy installation and removal process, it aligns perfectly with the GB02 philosophy.

🇫🇷Le Goblin Bikes GB02 se pare de nouvelles couleurs.
Ce sont en effet deux nouveaux coloris qui arrivent en renfort du rouge « coursier », qui vous est familier. Voici la première version que nous avons appelée BLUE NOTES. Vous l'avez la ref' ? On aurait aussi pu dire Some kinds Of Blue d'ailleurs. Bref, le GB02 est désormais disponible en bleu...
Et nous vous présenterons prochainement un bike check complet du vélo de notre amie Nien, dont vous avez un premier aperçu ici.

🇬🇧The Goblin Bikes GB02 is getting a makeover in new colors.
Two new colors are joining the familiar "roadie" red. Here's the first version, which we've dubbed BLUE NOTES. Get the reference? We could have also called it Some Kinds of Blue, for that matter. Anyway, the GB02 is now available in blue...
And we'll soon be presenting a full bike check of our friend Nien's bike, which you can see a first glimpse of here.

A journey…

Every rider from Taichung knows this place on road 99 iconic climb.

In the midst of the rainy season, the second round of the Taiwanese Gravel Fundo series took place in truly atrocious conditions. The Goblin chief, was the sole representative of the Goblin Bikes team this time, his usual teammates all citing more or less credible reasons for skipping the race. Will those who withdrew have a ride for the third round? It's far from certain; ultimately, it's his decision. Here's what he told us after the race:

"I registered despite being completely out of shape, and I'd already decided to approach the race in survival mode, which turned out to be the only way. In the end, we saw a 50% dropout rate among the men in such a short 19km race... In the over-fifty category, only two of us finished, so second place for me behind a kid thirteen years my junior. A little anecdote: I thought I'd never make it out of a 50m long, off-camber singletrack where I must have fallen flat on my face a good ten times in the mud, trying to push my bike! A huge thank you to the course marshal who pulled me out of that quagmire. Ah, we'll remember this one, and contrary to what they think, those who weren't there were definitely wrong."

1️⃣ "A bike I'm a huge fan of!!!
I don't have the "cyclistic" vocabulary to sing its praises, but I'll simply say it's changed my rider's life. A joy on all terrains, simple and efficient."

3️⃣ Laurence fell in love with the GB02
as soon as she saw it at Vaunage Passion Vélo.However, she had to wait a few months before taking possession of her very own GB02, meticulously prepared by VPV.
When you create so much expectation, the risk is disappointment in practice…
But from her very first rides, she was completely won over by her new bike.
She recently shared a postwith this heartfelt statement.

4️⃣ "The loop is closed"
And to top it all off, she sent us this friendly wink

5️⃣ Those who ride it can tell you the best.

🇬🇧 In Japan, cherry blossoms and Goblin Bikes are blooming …
Ping is Japanese. A few weeks ago, while visiting Taiwan, he came to see—and quickly try out—the Goblin Bikes GB02 he had discovered online. He subsequently ordered a frame from us and sent us some photos of the build he just completed.
🇫🇷 Au Japon, les sakuras et les Goblin Bikes fleurissent…
Ping est japonais. Voici quelques semaines, de passage à Taïwan il était venu voir en vrai -et rapidement essayer- le Goblin Bikes GB02 qu’il avait découvert sur internet. Il nous a commandé un cadre par la suite, et nous a envoyé quelques photos du montage qu’il vient de réaliser.

🇫🇷
En décembre dernier, nos amis de Vaunage, Passion Velos affichaient une bonne résolution dans leur magasin : un Goblin Bikes pour 2026. Il semblerait que cela soit bien parti, puisque en l’espace d’un mois, ils nous ont présenté pas moins de quatre projets basés sur le cadre VTT, GB04 et un très beau montage personnalisé du GB02. Bravo et merci les potos.
🇬🇧
Last December, our friends at Vaunage Passion Velos displayed a New Year’s resolution in their shop: a Goblin Bikes by 2026. It seems they’re well on their way, since in just one month they’ve presented us with no fewer than four projects based on the GB04 mountain bike frame and a very nice custom build of the GB02. Well done and thanks, guys!
