It doesn't appear that the Clinch is available in the US. I wonder why not?

Bring it into a bike shop and ask the mechanic to check the HS for looseness. That would be a few minutes of entertainment!
with it though, you really need a front fender. Too much crap to clog it up for adjusting.

Pragmatic..

Duct or better, Gaffers tape on the underside of the fork crown won't be much of a weight penalty..
to just cover up that part shielding against wheel sprayed grit..
Might be a plan to order the necessary shop tools .. before you need them.. ..

Already did something similar. A plastic cap to cover it.

Gorgeous build - I assume that's a "takedown" rather than a "quick fold", GTA?
Where were all those pictures with the graffiti taken?
Dahon is weird with availability. I'd found out at one point that one model available world-wide actually had a separate version for the US that lacked a few features - the Vybe, I think. Models seem to come and go, features and colors as well.

CLINCH has a tool set plugged in the handle bar, with which you could easily "fold" it.
However, I don't do that often, so didn't equip it.
Some pictures were taken in an area called "798" in Beijing.
