No offense but it wasn't one of Dahon's best sellers. It could have used a wider gear range with smaller gaps between the gears. It doesn't have a very tiny fold either but should be good for what you want to do.

It will be a good bike to explore the folding bike scene. Dahon builds a good value bike in general. You bought at a price that has little risk if you decide to sell it later and buy what might suit you better if the Piccolo doesn't turn out to be what you want. You will appreciate the fenders if you ride in the rain and having a rack has always been useful for me.

Congrats on your new bike. Welcomd to the folding section of the forum.
