Vello

Bikes

Vello is an Austrian brand founded in 2014 that specializes in the production of lightweight and innovative folding bicycles. Vello bicycles are designed for comfortable movement in the city and beyond, and their design has been awarded prestigious awards, including the Red Dot Design Award.

About the brand and its main advantages

A PROGRESSIVE BRAND FROM AUSTRIA

In 2013, the creator Valentin Vaudev, an industrial designer and founder of the brand, developed the first sketches of the Vello bike in 2013. Accompanied by co-founder Valerie Wolf, an important milestone was reached in 2014 when the first Vello bike was introduced. Thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, mass production was launched.

The main advantages of Vello bicycles are the combination of innovative design, unique folding mechanism, light weight and high performance, which makes them ideal for urban residents.

As the first Viennese manufacturer of folding bicycles, Vello creates trending products that amaze with their patented innovations and designs. Prestigious design awards include the Red Dot Design Award, the European Product Design Award, and the Austrian State Design Award.


INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR ELECTRIC BICYCLES

KERS System Vello Bike+ electric models use kinetic energy recovery (KERS) technology similar to that used in racing cars. It allows you to charge the battery while braking or driving downhill, which significantly increases the power reserve.

The Vello Bike+ models are equipped with a compact and lightweight Zehus "The All in One" electric motor, which is fully integrated into the rear hub, while maintaining a minimalistic design.

Many Vello models are equipped with powerful disc brakes that ensure reliable and safe braking in all weather conditions.

THE PATENTED MECHANISM

Vello bikes are equipped with a unique, patented folding mechanism that allows you to fold the bike in a few seconds. Unlike most folding bikes, the Vello does not have a hinge in the center of the frame. Instead, the rear wheel folds under the frame, locking with a powerful magnet.

The absence of a central hinge makes the Vello frame more rigid and durable, which increases stability and dynamics during riding. It also reduces the risk of backlash over time.

When folded, the Vello bike becomes incredibly compact — 57 x 79 x 29 cm, which makes it easier to store and transport in public transport, office or apartment.

Elastomeric suspension
The magnetic folding lock is integrated into an elastomeric shock absorber, which provides a basic suspension, increasing ride comfort.
Ultralight construction
Vello offers some of the lightest folding bikes on the market. The weight of non—electric models can start from 6.5 kg, and electric - from 9.9 kg (for the titanium version).
Carbon fiber belt
The lightweight carbon fiber belt is highly efficient with a longer service life. It is silent when driving, does not require maintenance and lubrication.
Driving dynamics
The rigid frame and well-thought-out geometry provide excellent driving characteristics comparable to a conventional bike, which makes riding fast and enjoyable.
Wireless system
The entire drive system (motor, battery, and sensors) is integrated into the rear hub, eliminating the need for wires and making the bike's design cleaner and more minimalistic.

Features

Internal Gear System

Internal refers to a system that houses all the gears inside a weatherproof rear hub. They are available in multiple speeds. Internal gear systems are low-maintenance, easy-to-use and allow the rider to change gears without pedaling or even standing still.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Hydraulic disc brakes are pretty much the king of brakes. Controlled by a hand lever, they are super responsive and allow you to stop with supreme efficiency.

Folding Mechanism

Thanks to the ability to fold the bike, the rides are even more joyful now. In a matter of seconds it turns into carry-on luggage making it easier to transport.

Gates Carbon Drive

Lightweight carbon belt ensures impressive efficiency and longer lifespan. No noise during the ride, it does not require maintenance and oiling.
