VELO DE VILLE has launced the FOLDY, a bike they say is aimed at urban trendsetters and commuters who want to make their everyday lives easier and more sustainable with a small investment.Â
The FOLDY, is a custom-made electric folding bike that the brand says “sets new standards in urban flexibility and compact power.” Winner of the Design & Innovation Award 2025, the FOLDY is an option for anyone who wants smart, sustainable and stylish transportation without compromise.
The bike, launched at Eurobike, weighs 17 kg (electric) or approx. 13 kg (non-electric version), and has a newly developed swing arm construction and the a OneSwing foldingmechanism. The brand says the FOLDY sets a new benchmark in the market for compact mobility solutions. It fits in any car boot, on the train, in the lift or under a desk.
Here are further details from the release:
‘One Swing to rule them all’ – A clever folding concept
The highlight: the motor, battery and crank are located on a single swing arm, which means that the chain or belt tension is always maintained when folding. The bike can be folded compactly in a single lifting motion – no adjustments, no tools, no compromises.
The technical highlights of the FOLDY:
