Хочу такой!!!

The best bike ever! i biked across cuba on a dahon d7. The bike is light and comfortable and superfun!

[cressowski]

just bought one of these - fantastic build, very practical and great attention to detail on the design (love the seat post pump). shame i had to order the front luggage truss from the US though as no one seems to stock it in the UK.

Ich habs - und bin überaus zufrieden. Ist das ideale Pendlerfahrrad!

Can't wait until I get the Cadenza 8...stupid loans, they're taking too long! Lol.

[emergencypicnic]

I had a Dahon. I enjoyed it, but the seat post cracked full thru after 4 years of riding. No help from the dealer or Dahon despite the supposed 5-year warranty.

I think this video might be a little bit enhanced to make things seem a little easier than they are. The bike is quite easy to fold BUT...there are things like: You can fold in half like they do in video, you have to raise handlebars first or handlebar will hit part of the wheel's axle. Also the cables will generally be in the way so you have to guide the cables out of the way or the magnet won't hold. So it's relatively easy but does require a little more care/precision/steps.

I'll do a video.

@visualfxpro

Did you ever make your video?

[MonkeyKingPsycho]

hm, wonder how much that weighs?

great vid thou

[DahonFoldingBikes]

The bike featured in the video is a 2006 model year Vitesse. We have gradually improved the bike over the years and it still remains as one of our better selling bikes. The 2008 version of the Vitesse weighs around 12 kg (26 lbs).

[mffn]

How much do these bikes go for? And what is the cheapest dahon folding bike available?

[DahonFoldingBikes]

@mffn, the bike featured in the video is a Vitesse D7HG and the 2010 model has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of US$799. The Eco 2 is our entry-level model and currently has a MSRP of US$349.

seems to be the coolest bike ever.

easy to pick up in a car, easy to pick up in a bus and easy to pic up on a train! pickup is possible everywhere!!

no more large size bike that impossible to take.

the only bad thing i can found here is the price od this bike wich is very high.

cost almost 900 $ here,

[tiga2001]

I don't think $900 is that much for a decent bike. I wish they were cheaper, but that's just the way most good quality bikes are priced. Also, they sell the Eco 3 if you want a low-priced Dahon, but the Eco 3 seems to be designed for short rides of a couple of miles at a time only.

I want the Dahon Ciao P8!

[aplasticcup06]

Just bought a Dahon MU SL!!!!!!!

[7jc1]

where can i buy a dahon folding bike in ontario canada?

[dumoulinbicyclettes]

UPDATE : they now have Shimano hub (the problem was for the 2006-2007 models), it should be OK now, so be careful if you buy a used one.

[dumoulinbicyclettes]

You don't really want a Vitesse, you can't enough screw the bolt to hold the rear wheel (if you screw it tight, you will break the thread of the Sturmey Archer hub because the axel is flat (like in some BMX). After have problems with many bikes, we found a way to solve it, but this should not happen to a new bike...

Anyway the shimano or sram internal hub are better.
