Posted January 8, 201510 yr Hi all! This is a functional folding bike with front and rear suspension. It's a replica of an existing model called "Birdy" from the German company Riese & Müller. Link for the real bike The Lego model features -full suspension -chain drive with tensioner -kickstand -height adjustable seat -carrier that also folds along with the bike -realistic folding and unfolding. The folding is modelled as precisely as I could do with Lego pieces. A short video showing the functions and folding: Visit the picture gallery when it gets published: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=530946 Edited January 8, 201510 yr by Lipko
January 8, 201510 yr Wow, this is really an amazing model, completely off the beaten track. I like how realistic everything is done. The great side-by-side picture with the original shows this very well.
January 9, 201510 yr Amazing MOC. I liked very much this creation, will you give instructions and parts list for this? I would love to build it! Thanks and again, amazing work!
January 9, 201510 yr Looks like you really pulled the foldability off, not an easy feat. Edited January 10, 201510 yr by Hereticae
January 11, 201510 yr Very nice work. It's not often that you see someone building a bike like this. :)
July 11, 20159 yr sorry for bumping this topic but i really like how you did it and how it looks like the real deal. i would love to see you make a brompton or Dahon speed.
July 11, 20159 yr Author Thank you for the comment! Actually someone already made a Brompton, though I couldn't find much info about it. I only found it after someone made a comment on my Birdy model about it: http://www.bicipiegh...hp?topic=8845.0 Maybe these are the two working Lego folding bikes ever posted publicly.
