Launched in 1995 by award-winning German design company Riese and Müller, Birdy bikes are praised in the international marketplace for their innovative design and performance. The revolutionary dual-suspension design of a Birdy folding bike introduces that smoothness to every ride that is otherwise only characteristic of expensive full-size bikes.
The first fully-suspended folding bikes, Birdie bikes use strong yet lightweight one-piece aluminum frames. Suspension pivots take care of the folding mechanism in the absence of main frame hinges. This ingenious design, together with the use of 18″ wheels, makes the bikes very stable and sporty.
Birdy bikes fold in less than 30 seconds with no tools required. Since the folded size of a Birdy bike is about 30″ x 23″ x 11″, it’s a cinch to store them in small places and carry cases. The lightweight frames (mostly around 24 lbs.) make the Birdy bikes are very portable.
The different gear options, sturdy frame and full suspension design of Birdy folding bikes make them suitable to be used for many purposes besides commuting. Use them for leisure travel and tourism, as well as for sports use.
