FAQs

Please read our FAQs below to understand more.

HOW SAFE AND STURDY ARE FOLDING BICYCLES? WILL IT FOLD WHILE I’M RIDING IT?

All our frames and folding components are built in our own ISO 9001 certified factories, and all our bicycles exceed the rigorous U.S. and European strength and safety standards, as well those of Japan, Germany, the UK and France.All our engineering designs are rigorously tested and re-tested in our own laboratories. DAHON DoubleLok technology makes our latches and locks virtually fail-safe.

ARE SMALLER WHEELS SLOWER THAN LARGE WHEELS?

Relatively speaking, no. A small wheel has slightly higher rolling resistance than a larger wheel, but this is only one aspect of “speed.” Small wheels offer several performance advantages: they accelerate faster due to a lower moment of inertia,are more aerodynamic, and lighter. In fact, the world speed record for a bike ridden in an upright position was set on abike with 18″ wheels. With DAHON's latest "DAHON-V" technology, our small-wheeled bikes are now even faster than many larger-wheeled models, redefining performance and efficiency in compact cycling.
