Thessaloniki: city of gastronomy!

Thessaloniki has been a crossroad of culture, different customs and flavors since its foundation.

The unique BFR system ensures that the child can pedal, brake and ride backwards using the pedals. This pedal Go-Kart is the best choice for kids that have a greater love for cars than bicycles.

Our footbikes are perhaps the most versatile models available anywhere.
