> French company Seabike

They have a .fr domain and a showroom in Cannes, France but the company is headquarted in Italy:

  PARITET SRL, Via Giovanni da Cermenate 3, 22063 Cantù (CO) Italy
Also, the French version of the website is riddled with enormous errors, like "For traveling light" translated as "Pour voyager lumière", which does not make any sense and isn't even grammatically correct (the proper translation would be "Pour voyager léger").

The whole thing does not inspire a lot of confidence. Is the product real?



That's a really odd mistranslation, given the Italian words for lightweight and light source are as different as in french (leggero/a vs luce). Looks like it was translated directly from the English content.


It's so interesting how English tends to clump together so many concepts into the same word.


What, you don't like to travel bright?
