Our rides are all different, but they all come with our globally renowned bike tech that gives users the convenience to get from A to B anywhere at anytime. For many years we’ve offered cutting edge e-bikes to help
cyclists ride further, speedier and be more equipped to tackle hills. With their many benefits, e-bikes can persuade more users to reduce their car consumption, so this is an important sector for us.
What makes your products unique? For 40 years we’ve been creating well-made products that deliver years of enjoyable value. We feel that foldable bicycles can, and should, deliver riding
performance as good as, or better than, a traditional bike. We continuously strive to produce the best folding bicycles money can buy, that are super easy to use, with great speed, strength, compactibility, and portability, to uniquely suit as many people as possible. In recent years we launched the HIT, a model that’s built
to be inclusive of a broad budget and body type. We slashed our margins to bring ultra low pricing, and the bike includes our patented Deltec cable that ups its maximum rider weight to 300 lbs. Our patented tech features across our blockbuster line-up, including our newest e-bike CURL Ei4, which boasts 11 special components for users to enjoy. Retailers can reap the benefits of being part of the Dahon family with the help of our supportive distribution network, as well as boosting their marketing efforts with all the tools to spread the word about Dahon to their audiences. We are a household brand that’s been running for decades,
our products speak for themselves and are famous throughout the world; retailers’ offerings will be boosted and diversified by having us on their books.
What feedback have you received? Over the years we’ve received great praise, from winning Fortune’s Product of the Year, and awards at important events in the cycling calendar such as Eurobike and Taipei Cycle. Most recently at China Cycle, CURL Ei4 and our internal disc brake won Creative Design and Gold awards. One of our top-sellers, Mariner D8, has wowed cycling and
non-cycling press, featuring in best folding bikes lists from Rolling Stone, to the New York Times, Cycling Weekly, and Gear Patrol. It’s truly great to have received so much recognition for our team’s hard work.
Since the launch of our Sharing 360 strategy in 2019, we’ve supported numerous companies with the licensing of our winning technology and branding formula. It has generated excellent results, with many leading figures in the trade showing great support. And most recently, we returned to Eurobike in our 40th
anniversary year, where we showcased our latest electric and non-electric folders for our industry peers and cycling enthusiasts to meet and greet. It was also a strong platform for us to get in-person feedback and discuss with companies about how Sharing 360 can can aid their business growth.
What are your plans for 2023 and beyond? We will keep bringing out new innovations and developing our existing products, we will continue to work hard in giving the industry and consumers the very best bike technology we can offer. After the recent, successful launches of our electric drives Unio E20 and CURL Ei4, we will continue to focus the spotlight on our e-folders. Next in the pipeline will be a folding electric cargo bike. Another first for Dahon, and another example of us expanding our catalogue for more riders. With our freshest line-up we’ll be attending Taipei Cycle,
Eurobike, and the E-Bike Challenge event in the Netherlands. We look forward to meeting the new and familiar faces of riders, retailers, resellers and distributors. For any retailers wishing to stock our brand please get in touch with our team. ●
