Framesets will start shipping at the end of January, and we’ll begin assembling and shipping complete builds shortly after. Now’s the time to claim your compact, adventure-ready ride.
The Neutrino Mini Velo is your perfect companion for urban adventures, multi-modal commutes, and travel escapades. Whether you’re a frequent flyer, apartment dweller, or simply looking for a fun and versatile N+1 bike, the Neutrino is designed to fit seamlessly into your life—and your heart.
Compact, Convenient, and City-Ready
For city dwellers and apartment enthusiasts, the Neutrino’s compact size makes navigating tight spaces a breeze. Its small wheels deliver quick acceleration, perfect for darting through traffic or winning stoplight sprints. Once you’ve reached your destination, carrying the bike upstairs or fitting it into your apartment is effortless thanks to its reduced length. Plus, you won’t have to worry about leaving it outside overnight—it’s easy to keep your Neutrino safe and cozy indoors.
Multi-Modal Marvel
If your commute involves trains, buses, or other modes of transport, the Neutrino shines. Its small footprint allows it to slip into train cars without taking up valuable space (or earning side-eye from fellow passengers). Planning a Rinko adventure? The Neutrino simplifies the process—no need to cut fenders or fully disassemble your bike. Just loosen the stem, turn the handlebars, and pack it neatly into a Rinko bag.
Built for Travel
The Neutrino is as at home in a suitcase as it is on the streets. For cyclists who frequently travel by plane, car, or bus to reach their starting point, the Neutrino’s compact frame saves you from oversized baggage fees and logistical headaches. Disassemble it into its original shipping box, and you’re good to go.
A Guaranteed Good Time
Above all, the Neutrino is just plain fun to ride. Its nimble handling, smooth ride quality, and unique character will bring a smile to your face every time you hop on. Whether it’s your daily ride or your weekend adventure bike, the Neutrino is a joy to own and ride.

We carefully tweaked the geometry to obtain a completely normal riding bike without any drama. Since the sizing is a bit less-than-traditional, we generally suggest folks that are 5'6" (168cm) and under go with a Small, and folks between 5'6" and 6' (183cm) go with a Large. If you're 6'1" to 6'4" (193cm), go with a XX-Large.
Please note: the XXL size is slightly too big to be packed within 62 linear inches. Check with your airline to see if that matters. I've found most airlines have done away with length requirements and focus on overweight at around 50 lbs.
If you are getting a VO Headset along with your frame, you can get it installed for a reasonable fee. Simply click here to navigate to the installation charge page, and add the fee to your order before checkout.
