  • Stopping to chat with friends on the way to brunch.
  • A trip to the farmer’s market for some fresh produce.
  • A sunset ride along the beach.

Say “hello” to the friendliest folding bicycle around. The Ciao! features an ultra-low step-through frame design that makes it easy for anyone to get on and off the bike – new riders, those with limited mobility, or even those wearing a dress! The Ciao! includes a full complement of accessories: front and rear lights, a hub dynamo to power the front light, mudguards that keep dirt and water off of clothes, and a sturdy rack to carry stuff. Voted “Bike of the Year” in 2006 in the Netherlands.

  • The super low step frame design is perfect for riders who are just getting back into cycling.
  • The dynamo hub means there are no batteries to run out.
  • Folds in seconds and is easy to carry so it never needs to be left outside.
  • Dahon Special Edition Shimano Nexus 8 hub with fewer spokes holes permits better spoke angles and a stronger wheel.
  • Fast-rolling Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires includes a Kevlar puncture resistant lining.
