Adventure begins on the rails: VELLO Bike and ÖBB are revolutionizing the way we travel.
We are excited to start the biking season with a very special collaboration:
VELLO is now an ÖBB partner!
From now on, the VELLO Rocky, our award-winning folding bike, will not only be seen on the streets of Vienna but also on the rails of Austria! VELLO and ÖBB, two Austrian companies, have teamed up to promote sustainable transportation in Austria and offer travelers more freedom in multimodal mobility.
For us at VELLO Bike, this collaboration is more than just a partnership – it’s a milestone on the path to a sustainable future. VELLO’s vision from the beginning was to change the way people move. The idea of taking a bike on trips by train instead of by car was the birth idea of the VELLO folding bike. The cooperation with ÖBB strengthens our vision of a mobility revolution and shows that green mobility is trending!
Valentin Vodev, CEO of VELLO Bike, sums it up: "The simple and free transport of VELLO folding bikes on ÖBB trains is the next logical step for us into a future that prioritizes the needs of commuters and city dwellers. This offer is not only a practical solution for people switching between different modes of transport, but also a guide for developing car-free cities of the future."
Bringing folding bikes on the train offers many advantages:
- No bike reservation required: The folded VELLO folding bike counts as regular luggage, making a separate bike reservation unnecessary. This simplifies the booking process and makes travel more spontaneous and even easier.
- Free transport and easy storage: In all local and regional trains, as well as in designated areas of ÖBB Railjet trains, folded VELLO folding bikes can be transported for free. This space-saving feature ensures a pleasant journey without impacting the limited space on the train.
- Perfect climate-friendly first/last mile solution: After getting off the train, the VELLO folding bike becomes the ideal climate-friendly solution for the last mile. Whether it’s to work, home, or leisure, the folding bike offers autonomy, flexibility, and mobility everywhere.
The VELLO Rocky as an ideal travel companion:
- Ideal for tours: Whether you want to explore the city or ride through the countryside, the VELLO Rocky is an all-rounder.
- Best riding qualities: With high-quality components and innovative design, the VELLO Rocky offers an unparalleled riding experience.
- Adjustable to all body sizes: Thanks to the height-adjustable handlebar and seat post, the VELLO Rocky is suitable for every rider.
And the best part? The VELLO folding bike is made in Austria, with a strong focus on quality and sustainability.
But that’s not all. Those with a climate ticket benefit twice: the purchase of a VELLO folding bike is subsidized with up to 500 euros gross. You can find all the details on the environmental subsidy website.
With ÖBB and our VELLOnauts, we are on the fast track to a greener, more sustainable future together!
