Riese & Müller’s original concept: a folding bike without compromise

A sunset coastal scene with a man and his Birdy folding bike.

It all started with a folding bike

Riese & Müller’s first ever bike remains perhaps its most iconic. The Birdy came about in the early 1990s when two German engineering students decided to go about designing a folding bike. They wanted something that folded to the smallest possible size, while retaining the geometry of a tourer. The Birdy was born, quickly followed by the formal partnership of “Riese und Müller”, and they haven’t looked back since.

We are also delighted to stock the Tern Vektron, one of only a handful of well-regarded folding bikes featuring the Bosch eBike System. It’s the perfect option if you want a folding electric bike without any compromises.
