The Story of Fnhon: Built for Freedom, Made for DIY

As cities grow more crowded and fast-paced, the need for efficient, lightweight, and compact transportation has never been clearer. That’s where folding bicycles come in. Designed to be portable, space-saving, and easy to ride, they’ve rapidly joined road bikes and mountain bikes as the third major category in modern cycling.

But folding bikes weren’t always exciting. Riders longed for something more than generic factory-built models. They wanted the freedom to choose their own parts, style, and setup—a folding bike they could truly call their own.

That’s where Fnhon comes in.

Born for Customization

In 2010, a team of folding bike veterans and passionate riders founded Shenzhen Meili Fnhon Technology Co., Ltd. 深圳魅力风行科技有限公司 in Shenzhen, China. Unlike traditional manufacturers, Fnhon chose a different path:

> They don’t build complete bikes. They build the freedom to create.

Fnhon focuses on designing and producing high-quality folding bike frames and components, allowing riders to build their bikes their way. Every detail—from geometry to finish—is designed to support the growing DIY folding bike community. Whether it’s for performance, comfort, or just creative expression, Fnhon frames give riders the platform to make it happen.

Designed for the DIY Cyclist

Fnhon frames are not just about performance—they’re about possibility. The brand constantly pushes to answer:

  • How do we give riders more room to customize?
  • How can frames stay strong through repeated upgrades?
  • How can we offer more colours, more styles, and more flexibility?

Because to Fnhon, a folding bike isn’t just transport—it’s personal.

This Is Not Just a Bike Frame—It’s Your Canvas

Fnhon believes that every rider deserves the freedom to build a bike that reflects their personality. Different structure. Different colours. Different components. The freedom to be different, to feel different—that’s what makes a Fnhon a Fnhon.

  • This is DIY.
  • This is freedom.
  • This is Fnhon.
