Anybody have thoughts on this bike? I'm going to get one from Thor, probably tomorrow. It will be my first folder. I am a trucker, and want to use it to keep in shape, tired of walking everywhere.
My riding is just puttering around Anytown, USA, not for hardcore touring.
I'm going with this bike for 2 reasons...price and the ability to upgrade components in the future, if needed.
Any comments or advice to newbie?

Thor, is the Eco 3 the same as the Eco D7? The only info I could find was on the Eco 3. From the photos on the Dehon website, it looked the same as the D7 on your site.
I am REALLY looking forward to getting my new wheels. I think it is going to be life changing, in the way I spend my off duty time.

The Eco looks like a decent starter bike. I hope you enjoy it! :-)
