WELCOME TO AOI.CYCLE
AOI.CYCLE designs and builds stainless steel bicycles that bring elegance, craftsmanship, and lasting purpose to everyday riding.
Our ethos is simple: create timeless, refined bicycles with meticulous attention to detail, while thoughtfully integrating new technologies where they improve the ride.
Beyond its distinctive frame geometry, AOI.CYCLE is defined by stainless steel. Each frame is welded with aerospace-grade techniques, then carefully polished to preserve its natural metallic luster.
Our geometry, construction methods, and material choices reflect a commitment to craftsmanship, safety, durability, and a refined riding experience. These values make every AOI.CYCLE bicycle a crafted object made to be kept, ridden, and passed on.

HISTORY

AOI.CYCLE is a Taiwanese bicycle brand with an independent voice in a market shaped by large manufacturers. We combine refined industrial design, mechanical know-how, and patient hand craftsmanship to create elegant craft bicycles, one piece at a time.
AOI.CYCLE was founded in 2010 by industrial designer Ken Aoi in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Built on a family-owned factory with more than 40 years of experience in mechanical design and metal processing, the brand carries forward a deep knowledge of precision manufacturing, including long-term work with AIDC in aerospace equipment development. Ken grew up surrounded by design and machining, later studying industrial design before returning home to build AOI.CYCLE.

PHILOSOPHY

Inspired by the curve of a rider’s arched back, Ken reinterpreted the traditional diamond bicycle frame as a streamlined open structure, giving AOI.CYCLE a silhouette clearly set apart from conventional bicycles.

For more than a century, the bicycle’s diamond frame has relied on two joined triangles. AOI.CYCLE reworks that familiar structure into a cleaner, more fluid form. The design creates a distinctive profile while helping distribute force more evenly through the frame, improving comfort and stability. After graduating in 2010, Ken returned to his hometown to continue the family factory’s work and bring his idea of a craft bicycle to life.

TEAM

AOI.CYCLE is built by a small, focused, and creative team inside a long-established metalworking factory in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Since the brand began in 2010, the workshop has grown from the founder’s family factory into a dedicated space for design, display, frame building, and assembly.

Our team brings together experience from architecture, shipbuilding, and mechanical engineering. Each maker trains for years before working independently, developing the patience and discipline required for precise hand-built bicycles. We ride, test, and refine our bicycles every day, sharing ideas continuously to move AOI.CYCLE forward.

We believe technology should support craft, not replace it. New tools can improve precision and efficiency, but the final details still belong to skilled hands. That human touch is what makes each AOI.CYCLE bicycle distinct, personal, and carefully made.
If you share our passion for thoughtful design, stainless steel craftsmanship, and bicycles made for long-term ownership, we would be happy to hear from you at service@aoicycle.com.
We are always glad to connect with riders, collectors, partners, and friends of the brand.
