Frequently Asked Questions
why don't QUELLA BICYCLES HAVE more than one GEAR?
We have designed and sold single-speed and fixed-gear bicycles since we started Quella in 2012. There are many benefits to these types of bicycles including:
– Fewer parts to purchase and maintain
– Simple to use – Affordable prices in comparison to geared bicycles– Ideal for urban riding on flattish terrain
– Very light – More thorough workout than a geared bike, leading to increased strength
– Customisable – Great looking
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SINGLE-SPEED AND A FIXED-GEAR BICYCLE?
On a fixie, the rear sprocket has no freewheel mechanism so the pedals will turn with the back wheel as they are ‘fixed’ together by the chain. A single speed bike has a freewheel mechanism so that the bike will freewheel (roll along) with your feet stationary. On a fixie, you need to keep pedalling at all times, even when rolling down a hill. All of our bikes have brakes fitted, but expert fixie riders can stop the bike using a skid technique by sharply pedalling backwards and locking the rear wheel. Fixies can also be used for trick riding like pedalling backwards, holding trackstands etc. Quella supply ALL bicycles with a ‘flip-flop hub’ as standard, this means there is a freewheel sprocket on one side and a fixed sprocket on the other so all bikes can be ridden fixed or with freewheel depending on your preference.
Are Quella bicycles suitable for urban areas?
Yes! Quella bicycles are perfect for urban areas because they are lightweight, simple to ride, easy to carry, and will turn heads with their modern and minimalist design. They are the perfect solution for the stylish urban commuter making regular short to medium trips. Please note that, whilst many of our customers do undertake longer rides, our bikes are not designed for long-distance trips because they do not have gears to help you on the big hills you might find on a long country ride.
Is riding a fixed-gear bike hard?
Riding a fixed gear bike is not difficult but it takes a bit of getting used to! It is great for your cycling technique and will improve your pedal stroke and your fitness.
Are there any common problems with fixie bikes I should be aware of before purchase?
Single-speed and fixed-gear bikes are great for commuting, short trips around your neighborhood and require less maintenance than a geared bike. If you have long or steep hills on your commute or live in a very hilly area, a single speed bike is going to make you work harder to get up those gradients as you only have the one gear.
