Pedal issue = Dahon, easy on and off quick release not securely attaching.

Hi All,

Before I start I hope this is in the correct forum, if not can someone re-thread it please.

I was in China (Baoding) in November 2019 and came across the Dahon Jifo 16 bike in a cycle shop, it was nice and small so I bought it, thinking that I was to bring it back to the UK I bought one for my wife. The one I got for my wife was new, unwrapped only taken out of the box and put on display in the window, so it had not been built up.

When I returned home in January 2020 I unwrapped the bike for my wife and found the pedal issue (plus a few other that are not important for riding the bike), where the pedal does not attach (see picture ‘Pedal locking’). On investigation the issue is related to the shim inside the pedal not being correctly machined inside the attachment section (see picture ‘attachment issue’).

The main issues I have are:
- the bike is not warranted outside China
- there are no Dahon dealers in UK
- I am not going back to China

My quick question is, does anyone know where I can get a pedal attachment from the I can swap with the defective one?

Thanks for your help.
