its christmas season.... dont muddle the waters with your comments , you know what I mean , and you know the answer to your question quite as well. I have tried to explain this over and over ... it should by now have sunk in....

to the original question.
Most Dahon bikes are built in Dahon own factory in China also the residence of David Hon who runs the plant. Dahon also has smaller satelite locations some in Macau as I recall ( they are building some bikes for the local market there, or close by ) and they have a coperation with a plant in Europe to assemble bikes in Europe. In the past the Euro bikes were very very similar to the ones built in China, I do however not know about the new plant in Europe as Dahon has switched from Tchecoslowakia to Hungary ( I am pretty sure) ..... Everybody knows that Europe has a stiff custom tariff on all bikes made outside the EU and therefore a assembly location in Europe makes good sense.

Anyhow... back to the OP why are you asking ?
