Our History

TripBike is a company inspired by a lifetime of experience in Asia, including ten years in Vietnam. Following her humanitarian missions, Carla Sarantellis founded the company in 2015 in Hauts-de-France to create jobs for workers with disabilities.

A former designer, she designs and creates Hyboo bikes from bio-sourced materials, including bamboo. Its carbon footprint is neutral and it has a vibration absorption capacity superior to that of aluminum; this bike is a small technological marvel of IOT weighing less than 15 kg with a surprising motorization.

The Hyboo bike automatically disengages as soon as its speed exceeds 25 km/h. Its silent 250 W motor and its removable 300 Wh battery are connected to IOS via Bluetooth. The battery charges in a full cycle in less than 2 hours and offers five levels of assistance for a greater autonomy of 60 to 100 km depending on the mode of use.

Hyboo is a unisex “green” electric bike, fully equipped (adjustable stem, disc brakes, ergonomic handles, bamboo mudguards, basket, etc.) which combines sleek design, comfort, elegance and performance.

Our first two ranges (City and Gravel) were created and launched in 2021 and 2022, after more than 5 years of R&D. This allows us to offer a highly advanced, innovative, and promising model.

TripBike continues to develop its R&D in order to offer the most advanced products and open the door to new ranges, such as the creation of the Helboo helmet project.
