I roll my helii the same way in a pinch: but these videos are just dishonest.

Note that they're only being rolled in one direction: because you can't roll backwards much (if at all) as the pedals will rotate and then lock against the folding hinge. At least the D3 and P8 series. This is a big deal: it makes manipulating the bike in tight spots surprisingly tough.

Second, a bump or two and the magnetic hinge comes undone and then all hell breaks loose.

Third, to roll reasonably, you have to be able to put down the bike here and there. But in the "Mode 1" version of rolling (with the seat up) I can't really do that because it bangs the front crank against the ground. Unfortunately, the "Mode 2" version of rolling (with the seat down) is really a cramped position, quite hard on my arms, *much* more so than the tikit. And that's saying something!

In my opinion, my dahons cannot be rolled realistically. They can be "rolled" sort of. Which basically a hack, not a selling point.
