The idea of flip
At 15, we were both in New Zealand during a year abroad. Pure freedom! There we are a lot on the road with the bike, quickly solve the problem of the bicycle bag. Back in Germany, we sat on the sewing machine and stitched the first prototypes from the flip and started development. In 2021, it was finally as far as you could buy the flip. With complete success. Because thanks to our patented folding system, the flip is the most practical combination of backpack and bicycle bag.
