This now, coupled with other issues I had (having to adjust brakes and index speeds a couple of times, with like only 1500km, and chain being REALLY prone to rust), makes me feel I have been duped. My cheaper old chinese ebike did not require 10% of the maintenance :/
Would you be able to give more specific advice if I posted a photo from the inside?
Also, what is the name of the hinge? I imagine with a name I could maybe find a manual.
Typically, the side lever hinge for Dahon was called Vicegrip, because it uses compound leverage like Vicegrip locking pliers.
Dahon Launch D8 with bottom lever, used Jaws hinge (fine teeth visible from the sides when closed), and later New Jaws Hinge (larger tapered teeth, hidden inside hinge when closed).
A pic of hinge open would be good.
Yeah I thought that was a Deltech cable, but wasn't sure it wasn't a brake cable. With Deltech, properly adjusted, hinge adjustment should be infrequent, unless it's coming loose and needs a locknut like I put on mine.
That Deltech needs to be tight to work. Check manual for adjustment procedure.
