To qualify for the Government Cycle to Work scheme, Birdy has announced that it will step away from its traditional £1,000 plus territory with the launch of (with C2W discounts taken into account) a sub-£500 folder.
Recent fluctuations in the Euro meant that the cheapest model was on course to retail for more than £1,100, pricing the model above the accepted qualification bracket for C2W buyers.
With that in mind, the manufacturers Riese und Müller of Germany, has made a slightly lower spec’d version exclusively for the UK market: the C2W, which retails at £999, including mudguards.
According to UK sales agent Alan Davidson: "The suspension and 18-inch wheels, coupled with the aluminium monocoque frame, give a smooth, lightweight (12kg) and responsive ride on a par with a lightweight full-sized bike."
Stockist opportunities for the Birdy range, as well as other brands under the Amazing Wheels portfolio are now available. Those interested should contact Amazing Wheels UK on
