Sizing Your Bike To Fit Perfectly
We build your bike from raw tubing and cut all parts to your sizing. Once you place your order online a Bike Friday expert will contact you for custom sizing. The sizing form we will go over with you is HERE

Upgrade and Accessory Options:

 

Electric Assist Option:

You can add an electric assist to this bike with a front hub motor. This is a Class I pedal assist and comes with a 430Whr 36V battery with ~90km (55mile) range. This front hub motor system replaces the front hub in the front wheel. (In 2023 there may be an airline checkable LIGO battery available, but not currently)

Features of the 350W front hub motor:

  • No motor resistance or increased drivetrain wear, unlike a Shimano or Bosch mid-drive system
  • Very light! The whole system adds only ~ 11 lbs to your bike
  • With purchase of a third wheel, quickly convert your ebike back to a regular bike

With carefully considered design details throughout, like the industry-standard bottom bracket shell and bikepacking-style battery mount, your Bike Friday is the most adaptable and future-proof ebike on the market today. Want to upgrade your battery or motor five years from now? There’s no need to worry about proprietary standards!

Better than I extected

My wife and I started riding tandems on a whim and purchased a cheapo, to see if we still loved each other after riding together. Turns out it was the secret sauce to our riding adventures, we love tandem bikes. After a year, we decided to upgrade to another tandem. We decided to spend the money for a bike we knew we would keep for several years, if not a lifetime. We decided on the Two'sDay. It rides so smooth and is way more comfortable to ride than our old bike. Customer service was great. They called to ask questions on riding style and other metrics to build our bike. It was well worth the wait. We have serious plans for our new bike. Many adventures are coming our way!

Trans-European Tandem Tour

My husband and I took "Marty" our Bike Twosday on a 5 month tour of Europe. It was so easy to pack up and hop on a train and then reassemble and see a new country! Even in Venice where riding is,of course, not an option, we were able to store the 2 suitcases in the hotel's storage area.

Green Gear stands by its product...

My wife and I have enjoyed our Two's Day for many years - somehow she finds it much easier to ride, while I get a more stringent workout... It's very nice to have someone to talk to while you are peddling, and I no longer crash looking over my shoulder trying to figure out where my wife is on individual bikes! The bike comes with a 10 year frame warranty, and Green Gear really stands by it! The bike had been very reliable for a long time, when about 17 miles into our Great Allegheny Passage adventure the rear hinge snapped, making the bike unrideable (the chain popped off with the slightest pressure on the peddles due to the bike frame flexing). Fortunately for us we were only a mile past Ohiopyle, and after pushing the bike back we were able to rent a couple of bikes from Wilderness Voyageurs (a nice company who rescued us! I recommend them too!) and complete our multi-day trip. On returning home we looked up the warranty - and as our bike was only a bit over 9 years old (and had 5700 miles on it) Green Gear said yep, it's covered! We just shipped the rear end to them, they re-welded the hinge, and sent it back. It took some time as they are backed up, but we were able to catch the end of the fall colors around here, and the bike worked great. The only cost to us was the shipping to them. Altogether a positive experience (although we were certainly lucky about where it failed).

They said that they've only had a couple of other hinge failures over the years, so it's probably good for quite a few more thousands of miles and hundreds of folds. It certainly looks as good as new. We look forward to traveling with the bike for as long as we are still able to ride...

4 reviews for Bike Friday Tandem Two’sDay Folding Travel Bike

  1. Ujjal Kohli

    Can you please custom build me one with the Enviolo Automatiq shifter with Bosch or equivalent mid motor? https://enviolo.com/products/

    • Walter

      Ujjal: No on Enviolo. We used to offer that company’s products but had numerous complaints and thus stopped offering them for the sake of our customers. Also, no on any mid-drive on the TwosDay as it needs crossover cranks to fold and they are necessarily incompatible with a mid-drive. If you don’t care about folding (or the fact that a mid-drive will make the cranks get out of sync), you can go for the Family Tandem which does break down and can work with a mid-drive (and we do have one that puts out equivalent power to a Bosch). We can also get you some other internal hub.

  2. Aldwin

    Does Bike Friday tandem Two’sDay folding has independent pedaling for both Captain and the Stoker?

    • Walter

      Aldwin: we do not include independent pedaling by default. It’s an option that we can include when the parts are available, as there is only one manufacturer that makes something applicable. Unless you have some physical limitation that requires it, I do not recommend it. It will limit your gearing and it will keep the captain from knowing where the stoker’s inside pedal is on turns, which can lead to disaster.

  3. Sascha

    Hello,

    do you think it’s possible to fit the foldable Tandem in ONE suitcase?

    Thank you

    • Walter

      Sascha,

      While the tandem can fit in one case, it is much more difficult to pack it away and we have no instructions for it. Since a tandem implies two riders and since each passenger of a plane has a baggage allowance, it typically works out well to use two suitcases. It also allows the storage of accessories and extra items.

  4. Walter B Saul II

    We are interested in this bike. What is your lead time for fulfilling an order? How long would we have to wait?
    In Christ, Walter Saul

    • Walter

      Walter, the best I can do is give you a rough approximation. We’re generally about 2-3 months out. Our schedule is dynamic, so if we get a sudden glut of orders, it can be pushed farther out, while adding extra capacity can pull things in. We also can, at times, accommodate expedited orders for a fee. The best way to answer your question is to consult with one of our salespeople and tell them your particular timing needs.
