Dahon Classic Folding Bike - Unfolding and Folding

Rubbish. Get a Brompton instead much better fold.

Thanks. These are great instructions for the Dahon V.

Thank you! I think you did a terrific job. You must have, because I spent 30 minutes before watching without success. While watching -- 2 minutes! Cheers!

how come nobody tells you how much weight these will hold - I weight 380lbs - I'd probly squash one

Yes the seatpost retracts, but it was almost impossible to do as it needed some serious greasing. I'm not a fan of pole greasing lol.

May I suggest a velcro strap or an old belt, so that the folded bike, does not unravel, on its own. Just tie one end to the rear carrier, then after folding, thread through the other wheel & snap together.

I'm about to get one of these. I hope that it proves a good folder.

I once tried to fold one of those. It was like trying to fight with an octopus.

Nice folding there. A couple of suggestions:

1) Start the fold with the left pedal already up and the kickstand up too.

2) Put the seat down first. (If you extend the seat tube with a PVC pipe, it will provide a support where the little wheel used to be.

3) Show the complete fold including the seat reduction so people can see how small the folder gets.

4) Practice before you make the next video; it gets easier with frequency.

Thanks for helping to promote Dahon bikes!
