VELLO BIKE+
The lightest and most compact electric folding bicycle in the world with self-charging technology.
The VELLO BIKE+ charges whenever you pedal or brake, using an integrated kinetic energy recovery system; the amount of energy generated depends on factors like the incline of the road and the pedaling speed. It weighs under 12 kg and measures just 72 x 53 cm when folded down, meaning it fits under a desk, in a suitcase or in a car boot. The bike comes with several features such as an accompanying app that allows users to lock their bike remotely. It also has a patented magnetic release making it easy to fold. Once folded, it stands on its own and can be wheeled along.
