Firefly introduces the Minivelo bike, which is notably made for the lead founder and designer of Ming watches, Ming Thein. The lifestyle bike is made for day-to-day activities and boasts a foldable structure to be easily stored away when needed.

The brand is known for its custom bikes and the MiniVelo travel bike for Thein is specifically designed to fit into a Timowa travel case. The custom bike can be easily assembled and disassembled, fitting like a puzzle into the briefcase with no fuss. Other factors of the MiniVelo include its durable chassis and lightweight feel -- it can be unfastened into two sections with other parts that follow. The main focus is the hydraulic line couplers that are integrated into the bike's frame.
