One thing I find fascinating about the folding bike world and in particular the business is the amount of passion (above profits etc.) that individuals bring - a sort of 'want to make the world better' zeal. I cant think of any who went into the business as a pure 'business' excercise, they all came from other backgrounds. Even Dahon is based on an individuals drive eg from Dr. Hon, Brompton - Andrew Ritchie, plus all the other movers ... Dr. Yan, George Lin, Alex Moulton, Mark Sanders, Peter Reich, Clive Sinclair ..... none of who appear to be typical 'tycoons' making mega profits like dragons off 'dragons den'.
