From Retrovelo:

PAULA – SWITCHES A FEW GEARS HIGHER
From kindergarten to the office, shopping at the market, from the hairdresser to a café, getting the kids to their grandparents right after a glass of champagne with the girlfriend, rushing to the theater with her loved one – 24 hours is far too short a day for the modern woman. But without PAULA it would be much shorter. With her 7 or 8-speed internal gear hubs PAULA overcomes each distance in no time. Along the way she provides a relaxed and upright position and thus a very comfortable ride in every situation. No distance too far, no burden too heavy – whether the kindergarten, before or after shopping – rack or basket hold the head and hands free for the essentials. What may they be? A PAULA-rider experiences it every day.

PAUL – SOLID VEHICLE FOR THE GENTLEMAN
PAUL is not a bike for eating up miles, but for relaxed and enjoyable cultured excursions. His extravagant fork crown looks like the grille of an Art Deco legend one would approach respectfully. Wide handlebars offer a relaxed position and give the sovereign sense of security on every surface. The upright, active posture ensures good vision of the passing scenery.

Handlebars, arm and shoulder form a circle that subtly highlights the rider’s position. We also test PAUL behind the scenes with the most current technology. The steel frame absorbs major bumps in the road effectively and small vibrations are transformed into the humming of your balloon tires. You will feel like sauntering to an opera premiere – even if it’s only on the way to work.
