Wien, Austria

VELLO is a pioneer in connected, lightweight and functional mobility products: In 2016 we created the first self-charging folding e-bike and with it, revolutionised the cycling industry. With its 20’inch wheels and frame geometry, the VELLO folding bike is made for riding performance and offers a unique customisable experience. Since then, VELLO has expanded its range to include accessories and a longtail e-bike. VELLO's design philosophy aims to produce durable, repairable, material-efficient and modularly adaptable components that require little maintenance. VELLO has received the Red Dot Award “Best of the Best”, the Austrian State Prize for Design, the German Federal Prize for Ecodesign and the 2023 German Design Award for its new SUB e-cargo bike, among others.
