The swift folder was born as a cross country collaboration between Peter Reich, A New York Based industrial designer and Jan VanderTuin, an ex-bike racer who believes the first choice in all transportation should be human powered. Reich's company, Design Mobility Inc., grapples with the problem of designing equipment that is simple and fits into small spaces. VanderTuin is a dedicated bicycle craftsman. His vision for a perfect bicycle world is evident in the workshops at his Center for Appropriate Transport, in Eugene, Oregon. From this meeting of minds the swift folder has evolved, embracing technology for a sustainable future.
Every bike is handmade, with production decentralized in community supported shops.
The result is a carefully developed bike, built to exacting standards.
