About us:
Roden’s mission is to create innovative and useful bicycle designs that solve everyday problems. We believe in the power of simple solutions and rely on basic bicycle technology to make our designs accessible and affordable for everyone. About us…
We are releasing our designs for free in Open Source format so that anyone (whether users or companies) can download them to make the bikes. Our income comes from companies and organizations that support our work. If you want to be one of them, you can contact us or make your contribution on Patreon and Open Collective.
By releasing the designs as Open Source, Roden hopes to encourage collaboration and innovation in the bicycle industry and make the designs accessible to anyone who wants to use them. About us…

For organizations: About manufacturing and supporting us
We are eager to collaborate with organizations that share our vision for sustainable transportation and innovation. By partnering with companies in the bicycle industry, bicycle sharing companies, government entities, and funding organizations, we hope to expand the reach and impact of our designs, and secure the resources needed to continue developing new prototypes. If you are interested in joining forces with us, please don’t hesitate to reach out and explore potential opportunities for collaboration. Together, we can create a better, more sustainable future for all.

About the designs and products
Roden offers a variety of innovations related to bicycles. We focus our work on new frame geometries and unique arrangements of components (such as seat, pedals, and handlebar), resulting in new and unique bicycle typologies, such as compact tandem bikes, bikes for people with disabilities, cargo bikes, and more useful solutions.
Currently, our Duetta model is available. You can purchase it, and you can access the info available at or repository.
This model is a versatile and functional bike that can be used for various purposes like commuting, leisure riding, and integrating people with disabilities. We have several other products in development that we will be releasing soon.
Our designs are available for download on Wikifactory, a social platform for collaborative product development. You can access product descriptions, parts lists, and files packages, as well as share feedback, contribute, and collaborate with the community.
You can download the information and contact us if you have any questions. You can also purchase some bicycle frames from us to use as a reference when starting the production.
About the Duetta
The tandem and the Duetta have different use cases. Tandems are better suited for sporting purposes, while the Duetta is ideal for city use and for the integration of people with disabilities. Learn more…
The Duetta is not built for competitive cycling. It’s the perfect bike for a leisurely ride with a friend or loved one, allowing for comfortable conversation and a shared experience.
We always recommend that when building the Duetta, it’s important to select the right components and use proper manufacturing techniques to ensure it can support the weight of two people. See the Duetta documentation.
