Production Dahon Mu w/ belt drive Rohloff
For 2014 model year, debuting @ Taipei Cycle next month. 451 wheels, like the Dr. Hon. Disc brakes, if the teaser photo is accurate.

Thanks. Thats real interesting.
I have a Dahon UNO and really love it.
Wonder how much better the disk brake is vs the coaster brake on my bike?
And what do you think of the belt vs chain?
Any other bikes you know of that have a belt?

'For discerning cyclists' , just dont worry about cost, if you do, look elsewhere..
rear facing fork has no 'through' problem , presented by a rear triangle, for belts..

World of difference between a coaster and almost any other brake(or even a fixed gear). My Otis was disc front,coaster rear. Never would have bought it without a front brake. I live in a hilly area,and hills combined with bad weather and coasters make for an interesting(as in the Chinese curse) ride. If you don't have the front caliper brake mounted,I'd HIGHLY recommend it.
