Very interesting concept and too be honest i figured it was bound to happen, Dahon would be crazy not to try this! I must say on the schematic the bike looks a lot less elegant and sturdy when compared to the Brommie, mostly due to the odd curved tubes and missing chainstay tube. But i am no engineer and the design probably reduces a lot of weight and width. And it is only a schematic after all. If this bike comes into production i really hope it will be steel (unlikely) strong and that it will ride very well and hence be tourworthy. A tiny fold is not worth it to me if the ride quality suffers overly.

Any ideas on whether this design will be produced and if so when? Perhaps there is info to be gleaned at the Dahon forum?

One of the nice things about living here in Southern California is living a stone's throw (about 15 or so miles) from Dahon's Global US Headquarters in the neighboring city of Duarte. Perhaps I might see the prototype being tested out on the street. If I do, I will be sure to post it here first!
