It has a so called Rohloff OEM left dropout with an OEM axle plate like on the bike pictured below.

My Birdy Rohloff uses the OEM2 axleplate engaged on the bolt supporting the mudguard. It's not fully compliant with the Rohloff guidance but works fine. I'm sure that R&M did their own testing.

Thanks JRat

The new Birdy called Birdy H series will be presented at the Taipei Cycle Show end of this week

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e32c618c49.jpg

It seems that it doesn't replace the Birdy 3 but will be a third line of Birdy besides the new Birdy Classic and Birdy 3?

Some more information are coming: its not a mid motor as announced earlier but a Mahle rear hub motor.

Its a totally new frame with a new fork and rear suspension arm that allow a smaller folded size and uses latest bike technologies like flat mount disc, thru axles...

No price and weight information yet.

More information on the North America Pacific cycles website, its a Mahle X30 rear hub motor.

The Birdy H weight 14.9kg, very good weight for a folding ebike with wide tires, full suspension an disc brakes able to ride on trails.

This Birdy H is the winner of the Taipei Cycle design & innovation Award 2026.

The position of the water bottle is masterful!

You do know that the "water bottle" is actually a battery?

I would like to buy a tri-fold eBike. That Mahle X30 usually can't do 30 mph like we like here in the US, though. So motor is insufficient, unfortunately.

Its a pedal assist ebike system and its actually what Mahle call the Mahle XS system made for lightweight bikes. so for the US market its a Class 1, not a Class 2 20mph or a Class 3 28mph with a throttle.

These Mahle hub motor exists in two versions, one with a 25km/h assist limit, another one with a 25mph assist limit, but Pacific Cycles has to decide if they want to have two types, one with 25km/h and another with 25mph for the different market legal requirements (and I have some doubt about the ability of these hub motor to reach 25mph with 50x355 wheels)?

And the small 171Wh bottle battery won't last long when riding at 25mph.

If you want a lightweight e-folding bike with an e-assists till 28mph, buy a Bike Friday All-day with a Bosch Performance Sprint mid-motor which is the 28mph version of the usual Performance SX.
