Our 12-inch wheels: the optimum for the city
We tested everything from 8-inch to 10-inch to 20-inch wheels during the development of the Kwiggle.
We found that 12-inch wheels offer the best compromise between riding comfort and maneuverability.
Even though millions of people ride 8-inch or 10-inch e-scooters through cities, we wanted to achieve even more riding comfort and safety.
Although 16- and 20-inch wheels have a slight advantage in terms of comfort, this is clearly at the expense of maneuverability – which is particularly important in the busy city. In order to achieve a comparable level of comfort with 12-inch wheels, we deliberately chose wide tires with a width of 50mm so that you can ride just as comfortably on uneven surfaces as you would with larger wheels.
The result: an amazingly comfortable ride!
By the way: our patented drive ensures that you don't have to pedal faster with our 12-inch wheels than with larger wheels.
The new lightness of cycling
You ride a folding bike better upright.
If you ride in an upright position, you need fewer gears. Why? The smaller gears are for riding uphill. If you ride uphill while standing, 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 just three gears that another folding bike with six gears needs.
When riding a conventional bike, the upper body is constantly at an angle. This puts strain on the back, shoulders and wrists.
When riding in the upright Kwiggle position, however, all the muscles remain relaxed in motion, the joints are relieved and in the stand-sit position you put more pressure on the pedal and effortlessly ride faster than with ordinary folding bikes.
HANDMADE in GERMANY
After more than 10 years of development and countless long-term stress tests, experienced engineers and technicians, led by mechanical engineer Karsten Bettin, succeeded in bringing the Kwiggle to market. The superior folding bike concept quickly found great appeal. With the help of a strong investor and financier, the Lower Saxony development bank, NBank, KwiggleBike GmbH has then expanded worldwide in the last four years. Kwiggles are now being ridden on all continents. At the Hannover site, specialists manufacture and assemble each individual Kwiggle by hand! Intensive quality assurance always takes place before shipping. The result: a level of material and manufacturing quality that is second to none – and thousands of satisfied customers.

What our customers say
As a commuter, I have tried many folding bikes. The Kwiggle is the only one that doesn't annoy anyone on the tram because it doesn't get in the way in the aisle, but 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 rides, because it doesn't give me back
Hendrik B. - Braunschweig
I've been riding the Kwiggle for two years now. Well done to the developers: the bike is in a class of its own. Everything works like it did at the beginning – and I'm no lightweight ;-)...!
Thorsten W. - Munich
When you consider that a Kwiggle costs about the same as a smartphone, this record wheel with its great utility has to be considered a bargain!
Thomas M. - Berlin
I bought the Kwiggle based on the article in the newspaper WELT. I can only confirm the author's opinion.
Vivien M. - Frankfurt/M.
Since I got the Kwiggle, I usually leave my car at home and take the bus or train. I simply place the wheel under the seat. That way, it doesn't get in the way of anyone standing in the aisle. And I don't get any dirty looks!
Felix H. - Leipzig
The Kwiggle is the only folding bike that is really easy to carry: it weighs less than 10 kg when folded and makes a handy package that can be stored anywhere. I couldn't imagine my daily life in the city without it!
Anja S. - Milan/Italy
The Kwiggle's appearance confused me at first. I doubted its stability. But I was way off: this is high-level engineering combined with the best materials. Super value for money.
Michael M. - Atlanta/USA
The transportation revolution is here. Kwiggle + train instead of car. The Kwiggle fits under every seat in the ICE!
Mareike M. - Hamburg
Folding bike EXTREME
We go on extreme tours with this folding bike. Doctors and physiotherapists tell us:
“Kwigglen uses all of your muscles optimally. You can ride for a very long time without getting tired.”
We therefore covered hundreds of kilometers in one day. We took part in road bike races. We conquered the steepest Alpine passes with this folding bike. And we made comparisons between Kwiggle and road bikes on mountains.
Take a look at our insights from the new world of folding bikes.

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, exact closing joint, and with only one fold. 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.
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
For maintenance, we recommend the oil and grease-free chain lubricant "DryFluids". High ceramic content provides a pleasant pedaling feel and significantly less dirt.
THE 6-SPEED SPEEDDRIVE
- Gear ratio 1:1.65
- Crank length 170 mm
- 5-arm, bolt circle 104mm
- 1 chainring with 34 Z
- Development 3.1 - 7.2 m
- with integrated chain guard, 7075-T6 aluminum
With the shift bars on the crank, it is now comfortable to shift. Our reason to use the speeddrive now also in the Kwiggle.
THE CRANK FOR 3-SPEED
- Miche Team CPT
- Crank length 170 mm
- 5-arm, bolt circle 110mm
- 1 chainring with 46 Z
- with integrated chain guard, 7075-T6 aluminum
Chain wheel and chain guard are made of one piece, which results in a very noble look.
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.
THE BRAKES
THE LIGHTING
The rear-light
The Spanninga Nr. 9 with reflector and battery convinces with its retro look. 
THE LUGGAGE RACK
The rack is another highlight on the Kwiggle. We wanted to provide our customers with a solution for their existing Ortlieb bicycle bags without having to spend extra money on a separate luggage system. We have developed a rack that fits perfectly into the folding size, allows at least 10 kg load and weighs only 75 g.All current Ortlieb rear-wheel or Ortlieb front-wheel bags fit on the luggage carrier.
