Challenge

At Velobyrd we focus a lot of our experience on bicycles with 20-inch wheels: compact and folding bikes, which have always been realized with technically outstanding and globally successful brands as partners. With manufacturers like Dahon, Tern or i:SY.

For these brands we organized the production and, in some cases, even completed the entire process. We managed the EU sales and even helped to develop the brand from the first ideas.

Solution

The first e-bikes from all these manufacturers were born under the care of Velobyrd. When Bosch then launched the 2nd generation of drives and batteries, our goal was to build the best possible e-bike on the market.

Without compromise, with a hidden battery and a quiet and efficient motor, equipped with a comfortable low entry and a stable and safe handling. And all this combined with an innovative folding technique and great design.

When we were satisfied with the development, we launched this bike under the name Banzai, with brands such as KTM, Flyer or Gudereit. Years later our success still proves us right.
