To the product ...

Our 12-inch wheels:
The optimum for the city

During the development of the Kwiggle, we tested everything from 8-inch to 10-inch and 20-inch wheels.

We discovered that 12-inch wheels offer an optimum compromise between riding comfort and maneuverability.

Even though millions of people ride through the cities on 8-inch or 10-inch e-scooters, we wanted to achieve even more riding comfort and safety.

16- and 20-inch wheels do have a slight advantage in terms of comfort, but this is clearly at the expense of maneuverability - especially in busy urban areas. which is particularly important in busy cities. In order to achieve a comparable level of comfort with 12-inch wheels, we have deliberately chosen wide tires with 50 mm, to ride just as comfortably on uneven roads as with larger wheels.

The result: an amazingly comfortable ride!

By the way: Our patented drive system ensures that you don't have to pedal any faster on our 12-inch wheels than on larger wheels.


Folding-bike-Kwiggle-ride-better-upright

The new lightness of cycling

It's better to ride a folding bike upright

If you ride upright, you need fewer gears. Why? The lower gears are for riding uphill. If you ride uphill standing up, you shift into a heavier gear and let your weight do the work. That's why the upright Kwiggler can climb the same hills with 3 gears as another folding bike with 6 gears.

With conventional cycling, the upper body is constantly in an inclined position. This puts strain on your back, shoulders and wrists.

When riding the Kwiggle in an upright position, on the other hand, all muscles remain relaxed and in motion, the joints are relieved and in the upright sitting position you put more pressure on the pedals and therefore ride faster than with conventional folding bikes.

More about driving upright

HANDMADE in GERMANY

After more than 10 years of development and countless long-term load tests, experienced engineers and technicians succeeded in bringing the Kwiggle to market, mechanical engineer Karsten Bettin, succeeded in launching the Kwiggle on the market.

The superior folding bike concept was quickly well received. With the help of a strong investor and capital provider, the Lower Saxony development bank NBank, KwiggleBike GmbH has expanded worldwide over the last four years. Kwiggle bikes now ride on every continent.

At the Hanover site, specialists manufacture and assemble every single Kwiggle by hand! Intensive quality assurance is always carried out before dispatch.

What customers say

As a commuter, I've tried many folding bikes. The Kwiggle is the only one that doesn't annoy anyone on the streetcar because it doesn't get in the way and fits under the seat. The best "commuter bike".

Claudia S. - Cologne

The Kwiggle is an all-rounder. I use it in the city in combination with public transport, but also for bike tours because it doesn't give me back pain.

Hendrik B. - Braunschweig

I've been riding the Kwiggle for 2 years now. Compliments to the developers: The quality of the bike is second to none. Everything works as it did at the beginning - and I'm no lightweight ;-) ...!

Thorsten W. - Munich

When you consider that a Kwiggle costs about as much as a smartphone, then you have to call this record-breaking bike with its great utility value a bargain!

Thomas M. - Berlin

I bought the Kwiggle because of the article in WELT. Can only confirm the author's opinion.

Vivien M. - Frankfurt/M.

Since I've had the Kwiggle, I usually leave my car behind and use the bus and train. I simply place the bike under the seat. That way it doesn't get in the way of anyone in the aisle. And I don't get any nasty looks!

Felix H. - Leipzig

The Kwiggle is the only folding bike that you can easily take with you: It weighs less than 10 kg and when folded is a handy package that fits anywhere. I can no longer imagine my everyday life in the city without it!

Anja S. - Milan/Italy

The look of the Kwiggle irritated me at first. I doubted its stability. But far from it: This is high engineering skill paired with the best materials. Super price-performance ratio.

Michael M. - Atlanta/USA

The traffic turnaround is here. Kwiggle + train instead of car. The Kwiggle fits under every seat on the ICE!

Mareike M. - Hamburg

Folding bike-Kwiggle-posed

THE FRAME

We only use high-strength stainless steel and 7000-series aluminum for the frame of the Kwiggle. 

  • The stainless steel steering tube and high-quality silver-brazed stainless steel joints bring springy comfort and ensures long-term stability.
  • All moving parts of the precision folding joints are equipped with extremely high quality wear protection..
    This ensures a robust, precisely closing joint, and with just one twist. This is unique and patented.
  • The lower frame parts have tab-like weld seams for the best possible stress distribution, manufactured with industrial robots in consistently outstanding MIG quality.
  • The rear frame section is particularly elegant and light and constructed as a single swingarm.
  • The fork is made from only one piece. This makes it light and strong at the same time.
  • We use sealed heavy duty 1.5 inch industrial angular contact ball bearings as the steering head bearings.

Folding bike kwiggle rims


THE RIMS

In a special manufacturing process, the Kwiggle rims are manufactured from a single piece of wrought aluminum alloy, unique in the world, with outstanding properties:

  • light and rigid at the same time
  • wear-resistant even after many thousands of kilometers
  • highly corrosion resistant
  • highest running accuracy
  • polished noble look

This precision and robustness allows smooth running even at high speeds of 60 km/h (37 mph).

THE DRIVE

The Kwiggle's patented drivetrain brings the 12-inch wheels up to road bike speed at normal cadence..

The very robust mini derailleur reliably switches the 3 pinions with 7, 8 and 10 teeth. The pinion geometry allows a smooth shift change. The sprockets and the chain are made of the best materials that the bicycle market has to offer: high-strength stainless steel with outstanding wear resistance. This ensures many thousands of kilometers of running performance of chain and sprockets.

For maintenance, we recommend the oil and grease-free chain lubricant "DryFluids". High ceramic content provides a pleasant pedaling feel and significantly less dirt.


Folding bike-Kwiggle-6-speeddrive

THE 6-SPEED-SPEEDDRIVE

  • Gear ratio 1:1.65
  • Crank length 170 mm
  • 5-arm, bolt circle 104mm
  • 1 kettingblad met 34 T
  • Transmission: 3.1 - 7.2 m
  • with integrated chain guard, 7075-T6 aluminum
The 6-speed speeddrive is a real discovery. A very robust easy-running bottom bracket gear with a long gear ratio, which makes steep hills just as possible as a quiet cadence even at 30 km/h.

With the shift bars on the crank, it is now comfortable to shift. Our reason to use the speeddrive now also in the Kwiggle.

Folding bike kwiggle crank unit

THE 3-SPEED CRANK UNIT

  • Miche Team CPT
  • Crank length 170 mm
  • 5-arm, bolt circle 110mm
  • 1 chainring with 46 Z
  • with integrated chain guard, 7075-T6 aluminum
The Crank unit fulfills two important tasks. It has a particularly small Q-factor so that the feet can be as close together as possible. This is much more comfortable for riding while standing. In addition,  the Miche Team CPT is one of the lightest representatives of the square aluminum cranks.

Chain wheel and chain guard are made of one piece, which results in a very noble look.

Folding bike-Kwiggle trolley bikes

THE TROLLEY WHEELS


In trolley mode, the Kwiggle is easy to pull. Just like a trolley suitcase.

The trolley wheels are made extra large for this purpose, so that pulling of the folded Kwiggle is easy and pleasant everywhere, even on uneven terrain.

Folding bike-Kwiggle-Brake-Tektro

THE BRAKES

The side-pull brake is the lightest and most space-saving brake there is. That's why we chose to use them.

Because with the Kwiggle it depends on every millimeter and every gram.

We have equipped the front brake with a brake force limiter, which prevents falling forward even when braking hard in the heat of the moment.


Folding bike-Kwiggle front light-Eyro

THE LIGHTING

The Eyro model from Busch and Müller combines detailed driveway illumination at 30 lux with high compactness. The EYRO is a battery powered front light of high quality. It can be simply removed for charging and than connected to a USB charger..

We mount the EYRO just 40 cm above the ground in order to make the ground structure (edges, bumps) visible. The detection of cracks and bumps  on dark roads is therefore no problem. It also has an excellent light output.


The rear light

The Spanninga No. 9 with reflector and battery convinces with its retro look.


        THE LUGGAGE RACK

        The luggage rack is another highlight on the Kwiggle. We wanted our customers to be able to use their Ortlieb bike panniers, if they already have them, without having to spend extra money on a separate luggage system. We have developed a luggage carrier that fits perfectly into the folding size, allows at least 10 kg payload and at the same time weighs only 75 g..

        All current Ortlieb rear-wheel or Ortlieb front-wheel bags fit on the luggage carrier.


        THE PEDALS

        MKS XP-EZY with reflectore, only 330g.
        Perfect functioning plug-in principle.
        Quality made in Japan.

        We use plug-in pedals. This makes the folding size of the Kwiggle 2 cm narrower and has therefore hand luggage size..

        The pedal is very easy to remove with one hand and is significantly more robust than any folding pedal.
