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, Ross Lovegrove[1] and Karim Rashid— in designing its products.[2] 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.[3]
History
Biomega was established in 1998 by former university classmates Jens Martin Skibsted and Elias Grove Nielsen.[2]
Technology
Biomega had up until 2015 made both shaft-driven bicycles, belt-driven bicycles and bamboo bicycles. Ahead from 2015 Biomega started to make electric bicycles in carbon fibre which at that time was one of the lightest electric bicycles in the world.
