It looks very much like a 2016 Riese&Müller World Birdy Sport (same color, same design) with:
➜ Shimano 8-speed derailleur
➜ Mudguards and kickstand
➜ Weight: 11.9 kg
➜ Gear ratio: 2.57 to 7.04 m

Good point for a tall rider, it has the sport 21degree stem and should have a 56x11 transmission (a little better than the usual 52x11).

The The Pacific Cycles New Birdy Classic also 8 speed Shimano, also the old chain tensioner but with semi-integrated headset (not necessarily an advantage), also rim brakes, without mudguards, without kickstand is announced at 10.9kg and cost 1390USD + shipment + taxes.

If you provide me your Email, I have the R&M 2016 catalog with this bike in it and all specs in .pdf

A Birdy R20 11SP with 11 speed, monocoque frame and disc brake is better (but V-brake should provide enough braking power) but he price isn't the same !

To have an idea of the used Birdy prices in Europe, look here: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-birdy/k0
