Dahons

Dahons are a brand of folding bicycles manufactured by Dahon Technologies. Founded in 1982 by brothers David and Henry Hon, the company is recognized for its innovation in folding bike technology. Dahon bikes are designed for portability and convenience, making them popular for urban commuters, travelers, and those with limited storage space.

The core principle behind Dahon's design is its folding mechanism, which allows the bicycle to be compacted into a relatively small size. This enables easy storage in apartments, offices, or public transport. Over the years, Dahon has developed various folding systems, each aiming for speed and simplicity. The bikes are typically constructed from lightweight materials like aluminum to further enhance their portability.

Dahon offers a wide range of models, catering to different needs and budgets. These include single-speed bikes for simple urban riding, geared models for varied terrain, and electric-assist folding bikes. The brand also produces accessories such as panniers and carrying bags specifically designed for their folding bicycles. Dahon bikes are sold globally, and the company has established a significant presence in the folding bicycle market.
