Hello dear backers!
We hope you’re all getting into the holiday spirit! Here’s a quick update from us.
We’re thrilled to say that the Blubel tooling (i.e. the machine and moulds) is pretty much complete. With a few minor adjustments we’re now ready to make the Blubel casing, attachment and bell, in all the beautiful colours and metal finishes.
We’ve also fine-tuned the mobile app design to make it even more intuitive and easy to use. Working with designers and developers, we have had great feedback from our testers and we're excited to reveal it to you very very soon.
On another note - check out these beautiful posters that the very talented, Oliver O’Keefe has designed and screen printed by hand. We have only a few left, so don’t delay ordering yours here.
If we've gone a bit quiet it's because we're working our socks off to make sure the Blubel is the best it can be when it arrives on your doorstep. With a big effort through the holiday season we're aiming for delivery early next year!
We have reached our funding goal!

Hello! We're 40% of the way - thank you for your support!
Last week has been quite intense what with Brexit, the pound plunging, messy markets and political upheaval. But you know what - a sweet bike ride around London, led by Blubel, really perks you up! We've had some really nice coverage of Blubel in Cool Hunting, Road.cc and Bike Radar - plus more is coming. We've also been refining the app design with Venturespring, it's now even simpler to tap in a route.
We love hearing your ideas about potential features for the app so keep them coming!
Cheers,
Blubel team x
PS! We wanted to share a great project from some friends of ours at Altum Designs - they currently have an awesome Kickstarter right now for an innovative 13 function bicycle multi-tool and MTR, an accompanying tool roll that provides an effective means of transporting a cyclist's essential items. Each are comprehensive enough for use at home but compact enough for the road. MODUAL seeks to offer a portable yet powerful alternative to conventional folding tools!
