Just like the red mini bob (Zipflbob), the original mini bob (Zipflbob) has been available in blue since 1976.

As with the red mini bob, the blue Zipflbob was initially produced and sold entirely in blue – only later was a contrast created with black on the handle (Zipfl) and seat of the blue Zipflbob.

The first shade of blue was still quite dark and became much lighter when combined with black. Many people also call the blue mini bob the “Smurf bob”, as the color is very reminiscent of the little Smurfs.

A few years after the original yellow mini bob and the original red mini bob, another color of zipflbob followed. It quickly became clear that it would be a blue Zipflbob.

The original blue mini bob with the typical “Zipflbob handle” is also shown here in blue. It is easy to recognize: Back in the 70s, the popular plastic bob was completely dyed in the respective color, including the original blue mini bob – in the meantime, the black handle (Zipfl) and the black seat of the Zipfibob have become recognizable and have given rise to copying.

Today, alongside the red zipflbob, the blue zipflbob is one of the most popular mini bob variants. The “Smurf Bob” in particular has become indispensable.
