Rumored? It was what they officially announced.

In other news, Dahon sez around half of their global production/sales are in China now. Perhaps that explains the two (global, China) websites. Dahon has some 1,100 company-owned, brand-exclusive stores in China, plus sell in another 500+ independent bike shops there. The sales forcast for 2012 in China is ~450,000 bikes.

That's a lot of folding bikes!
