Today's teenagers will most likely have never seen a “Tubo” and (giustamente) do not care. The era of the mopeds for smarmittati and smelly guys – scooters, Mica boys – It's gone for a while and has a value only for those who lived at least part of the Roaring Eighties. Some things, however, do not change, as the desire to move in an original way and this is one of the cornerstones of Fantic It designed the new Issimo, two wheels halfway between the pedal assisted bike and moped.
The other two design pillars were safety and driving experience and the result is definitely an interesting product for the contents and impact for the careful design. One can not look at him curiously, it is impossible not to want to try it. At least that is what I have tried in this warm afternoon in early autumn, When Fantic left me face to face with the new Parador.
A short ride to the city center, the place for which he was born, including bike paths, pavements, paths of the parks and somewhat’ of “jungle” underground to dodge the exploits of other road users. Just enough time to get to know and understand that yes, Issimo in the 25km / h version is a bike that looks like something else, but he wants to be something more. He wants to create a segment, become a small cult object just like in the eighties it had become some mopeds.
Because in the end counts so get to school, at the University, the bar independently, but also counts get there with the right style.
And this Issimo I must say that it takes to run. It promises and keeps driving fun and a certain feeling of security with good braking, in tires “fat” absorbing holes, rails and sidewalks without flinching, a suspension fork and handlebar off beautiful (perhaps too well) for sudden changes of direction.
Just a nice prodottino, with all quality components to which I wish you luck because Made In Italy. We'll see if he can make inroads among younger, surely one has passed since the eighties has already done so.
In the video you can find all the details, versioni, Prices and my immediate impressions. Good vision!
