Biomega (bicycle company)
Biomega is a Copenhagen-based, Danish brand of designer bicycles. It is known for engaging international designers from outside the bicycle industry; including Marc Newson,[1] Ross Lovegrove,[2] Karim Rashid and Bjarke Ingels,[3] often giving its products unconventional solutions.[4] In addition to producing bikes under its own name, Falcon produces bicycles under a joined brand with Puma AG.
Biomega bicycles are represented in the design collections of both MOMA, SFMOMA and the Sir Terrence Conran Foundation Collection.[5]
History
Biomega was established in 1998 by former university classmates Jens Martin Skibsted and Elias Grove Nielsen.[4] The company went bankrupt in August 2022 with a debt of DKK 72 million.[6]
