Going by that video it seems to suggest this bike can be used in place of many other types of bike so maybe we will see it performing stunts, racing, off-road type of terrain at the arena.



The bend of it looks like one of those early bicycles.



Looking at the bike though it seems to be single speed with a chain tensioner and no obvious provision to allow for gears and the dropouts are low quality crimped ends.

When you haven't got any gears you wonder if this is an e-bike somewhere to assist on hills and what is blurred on that image, maybe some sort of e-bike control pad on the handlebars and some sort of front wheel motor assist mechanism (friction wheel motor above the tyre). Maybe the battery is in the main frame?

Seems to copy some of the ideas from the original Dahon bike with the supporting bars.

When I started the video I was expecting to see a Dahon e-bike announcement so was a little surprised to see this design which seems to be focused on being stored relatively flat and may not be an e-bike at all.

Dahon are always looking for ways to sell their products at a premium with a very high margin in my opinion. E-bikes have many expensive components and it would be difficult for Dahon to compete in that sector at realistic pricing however this looks to be an extremely cheap, basic design with personality which maybe they will sell for $400 retail or maybe $700 if its got some sort of simple basic motor assist just for the hills.

Maybe those support arms are flexible somehow and provide a suspension effect?

It looks like a very basic bike which they are going to wow us with some sort of display at the arena to try to convince us of its versatility.

What other bikes go for thin vertical storage like this, the hideous Strida and perhaps this one.
