The manufacturer does not forget users who prefer the Siggi as a conventional bike.

The folding aluminum handlebar is adjustable, so the riding position can be changed based on the size of the rider for more optimized control and comfort at all times. It is a fairly light vehicle, since it weighs 13 kg in its electric versions and 10 kg if you prefer to buy it as a conventional bike.
