I bought this bike to ride around my base in Iraq. Figured I could take it on to Afghanistan, and then home, quite easily, and really get my moneys worth. Better than the cheap bikes they sell on base. The bike came in the US Mail extremely fast, under a week, very impressive! It popped together pretty quickly, you might need a wrench to get the one pedal attached, I got it with my fingers.
The bike is well put together, I am pleased with the quality of what I paid for. It looks good, more like a BMX or Freestyle bike than your typical folding "clown bike". I like the simplicity of it, no cables or gears, which is fine for riding here in the flat desert. The matte black color is cool, but there are plenty of reflectors on it, so you can be seen at night. Nice flat pedals, good for normal shoes. I like the low crossbar, makes the bike more like a step through scooter, which is nice when you are wearing slacks or heavy work pants.

I have never rode any public transportation system in the US before (other than bus in my childhood years during summer breaks) but I recently started to look into this option for a new awesome job that is in another county.

I own this bike for like 2 days and it's already a conversation starter on the Metro-link train station, university shuttle buses and students on campus. I over heard the lady shuttle bus driver talking to another girl, "look at this folding bike? what else will they come up with next?" I kind of chuckled and smiled. Everyone, myself included loves the elegance and simplicity of its design and how clean/quick it folds/unfolds. The first time I didn't know exactly where to apply initial pressure to open and close the main frame but after only a day, I can do it in less than 10 seconds fold/unfold. One of the YouTube video shows during folding the D7HG Vitesse to lower the seat first but I found with my Speed Uno, it's best to lower the seat last,... Read more

My husband bought me this Dahon bike for my birthday. What an amazing surprise. It is so cool looking and it rides great. It is so compact that I can throw it into the trunk of my prius and ride anywhere I want. I use it on my lunch break to ride around LA and not have to worry about parking. On the weekends I can pop on the train and go to Santa Barbara and ride around. The opportunities are endless.
It is such a great conversation piece, as everyone asks me about it when they see it. Folding bikes are super cool.

I could not be happier with this bike.

Take two they're small.
