The compact size of Citizen folding bikes makes them well suited for urban commuting, [5] and they are airplane-friendly when packed in an optional carrying bag. [6] An early limited edition model called MTA MetroBike, outfitted with reflective Metropolitan Transportation Authority route symbols, [7] was showcased by the MTA as a train and bus-friendly bicycle.

The company offers a namesake mobile app to help map rides and count calories. [10]
