Verge Duo

Reaching for Perfection

We’re great believers in a philosophy described by the French writer, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, “You know you have reached perfection in design, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to be taken away.” We set out to design the perfect bike for getting around in a flat city like Amsterdam. With only two speeds, automatic shifting, and ultra-clean lines, we think we’re getting pretty close.

  • Two simple speeds and automatic shifting
  • Adjustable VRO handlebar stem to fine tune your ride position
  • BioLogic Arx™ grips with a hidden multi-tool
  • BioLogic PostPump™ for on-the-road maintenance and repairs
  • FreeDrive™ chain cover protects your clothes from grease and dirt
  • Folds compactly in 10 seconds for storage and transport
  • 20" wheels

Macht Spaß: Das kleine Schwarze mit automatischer Schaltung für den täglichen Weg durch den Großstadtdschungel. [It's fun. The little black dress with automatic gear for the daily commute in the urban jungle.]

Cycle Magazine

...the Verge Duo was a comfortable breeze to drive around bumpy, hill-heavy Brooklyn bike paths. Finally, at less than $1,000, it's a steal when compared with its pricier U.K.-built competitors.
