The OP also specified 2009 models. Thus, some like the 2009 Dahon Eco would have to be purchased used to meet the $300 target.

If I needed a folding bike, I'd seriously consider the Schwinn Loop, but then I have a soft spot in my heart for Schwinn bikes since my very first childhood bike was a Schwinn. Here's a link to the webpage with the video showing one that's had a front wheel hub motor kit installed. I know it adds weight, but some with hilly commutes might just appreciate it.

So do I, but of course the Schwinn of my childhood went belly up in 1992. Today the brand name is owned and used by the large PacificCycles Outdoor Recreation Products conglomerate.
