  • Fast cruising around campus.
  • Bar hopping (eco style).
  • Searching for a new lunch spot.
  • Flying through the city with the greatest of ease.

Be nimble… be quick… be Jack! The Jack is designed to go at any pace you choose and to roll over anything in its path. Forget leaving your urban machine in that communal bike garage, getting nicked and scratched; keep it inside and safe… with you. That’s how it should be, right? Jack is designed around a beefy 7005 aluminum frame and phat Schwalbe Big Apple tires. The Jack has only 7 speeds to keep things simple, but enough gears for most anything you’re likely to encounter in the city. What kind of bike is this? It’s a human powered urban machine, Jack.

  • Dahon F.I.T. stem offers 50mm of adjustment for a custom riding position.
  • Light weight 7005 aluminum frame with custom-drawn Sonus tubing, Lattice forged hinge, patented Re-Bar technology and replaceable derailleur hanger.
  • Schwalbe Big Apple tires are luxuriously comfortable, fast rolling, and have a Kevlar anti-puncture lining.

Reviews

Jack Review

“The Dahon Jack 26 in-wheeled folder is a solid urban and trail runabout with a nice clean feel to it. Most notably though, it’s that rarity, a larger-wheeled folder. This means handling stability is preserved – an important point for those who shy away from smaller wheeled folders because of their more sensitive ride qualities.”

Jack Electric Bike Conversion Review

“The Jack itself is a lovely bike for cross town jaunts, dropping off kerbs and soaking up potholes with its Schwalbe Big Apple tyres. If you don’t need the motor or run out of power it’s still a great bike to ride with that free running motor.”
