A lot of evolutionary stuff from Dahon, including some striking hydro-formed frame members, but the
Jifo 16 looks revolutionary. The bi-fold frame appears to make a very small package when collapsed. It appears that because of the linkage, the rear hinge will be driven by the latched front hinge, speeding folding time. The lower section of the seat post is also linked and seems to deploy/retract automatically, simultaneously creating a support foot for the folded machine. Nice touches: the plug-in behind the saddle for the demountable pedal; the cables routed internal to the frame (I see there are provisions for a gear cable as well on this single speed model).
I'd like to see the folded dimensions and a video of the fold on this one.
Disappointed the Curl is not feature in the models.
Yeah, I hear you, but what if this Jifo is less expensive and less complicated, but folds as small or smaller?
Probably more on these next week @ the Taipei Cycle Show.
