What customers say about "Key Specs"

Dahon Speed Uno Folding Bike, Shadow

I am 6'2 so I am at the upper limits of the bike. It fits great and I can get some pretty good speed.
It's extremely agile and perfect for maneuvering on sidewalks around tourists.
The stock single speed ratio perfect for me.. Hill climbing isn't too hard and I'm still able to get plenty of speed.
It's compactness, comfort, durability and performance make it a bike worth riding.
I'm over 6 feet tall and can easily jack the seat up to accommodate my long legs.

Dahon Mu Uno Folding Bike, Shadow

The weight is only 10.15k, so you can lift it really easy.
It is a great bike for those senior in age who like to get around the streets in very fashionable modes of transport.
Fast. Bike looks and feels sturdy, strong, and fast.
I (a 5'6" female who is NOT strong in the arms by any means) can lift it easily and carry it comfortably up and down steps and along the train platform.
This is a great folding bike for commuters, like me!

What customers say about "Components"

Dahon Speed Uno Folding Bike, Shadow

The cover around the chain is a nice touch! No grease will get on your pants!
The size of the wheels, and definitely the sexy matte black just make this thing look amazing.
Smaller wheelsmeans youll be pedaling more then a regular bike but thats ok because this thing is so compact you can keep it in your trunk with plenty of room left over.
A coaster brake over rim brakes is fine for me. Less junk to adjust, but it did take some time to get used to them.
The coaster brake is solid, but I still find the bike excellent for trips all around Portland.

Dahon Mu Uno Folding Bike, Shadow

And the bike handles bumps and such in the rode well, providing a very smooth and quick ride.
The rear brake is generally up to the job.
Also the Schwalbe tyres have almost no wear after riding around almost everyday for the last half year.
The gearing is quite low and is perfect for me, and I can still climb the hills.

What customers say about "Features"

Dahon Speed Uno Folding Bike, Shadow

It packs up compact enough to bring on a non-crowded bus. It could easily fit on the floor in front of a seat.
It's easy and quick to fold. I've folded it to carry through stores or sometimes to leave it up front where it's out of the way and nobody freaks out about a bike in their place.
It looks cool. I'm surprised a how many people comment on it. Somebody took a picture of me from their car today. Weird...
It's easy to carry folded or unfolded and a light bike is easier for hill climbing, accelerating and less fatiguing to ride.
I picked this specific folding bike for several reasons: it is very simple, lightweight, features and high quality.

Dahon Mu Uno Folding Bike, Shadow

I really love riding this beautiful bike! Is smooth, quiet, is reaaaaally easy to fold and, since there are not gears to be concerned about, the maintenance is really simple.
If you are seeking for a folding bike for daily commute, you like simplicity (and good design) and you plan to use it in a place with few or not hills at all, I highly recommend this bike!
It's really simple to fold and unfold. After practicing for about a week, I got the fold down to under 20 seconds.
The folding mechanisms are very sturdy and secure: no weird clanking or shaking anywhere.
Highly recommend them, easy to fold up and store in a bag and carry with you.
