You can put drop bars on all Dahons easily. The Mu Ex, for example, comes with Syntace VRO. Just take care that diameter is MTB standard, not road standard.
As well the cranks and pedal holes are just standard. You can use any you want. If they have an Allen hole, you can detach one pedal in 10 secs for traveling. Total suitcase disassembly takes me 2 min (Dahon Mu SL). Packing into the suitcase can take another 5 min because of tight space (depending on suitcase) & proper padding.
There are also MKS quick release clip pedals available, but I prefer just standard to be screwed off.
