"In 20 miles of riding on dirt paths, up and down
hills, and across streams, the bike performed flawlessly
and held up to the hardest riding."
- American Survival Guide, USA
"I am just writing to say that your bike (Espresso) is wonderful. This bike has made my summer one of the best. I have traveled with and biked on several trails in five different states. This is something that I would have never done before because I will not subject my car to a bike rack. Thank you."
- A. Kostenko, USA
"I have been riding my Dahon Espresso for a few months now and love it. I don't drive a car, so this is great to get around town or put on the bus or trolley. I am not mechanical at all, and was glad to find out it is very easy to fold up when I need to."
- C. Moser, San Diego, CA
"Last fall I purchased two of your bikes, the Espresso and the Mariner. They are without doubt the most versatile, user friendly, compatible, comfortable, rugged, and enjoyable bikes I have ridden. People marvel as we fold up TWO full size bikes and stuff them into the back of my tiny 318 BMW hatchback. What a trip!"
"I was very surprised by the ride, although I am slightly too tall (6'3" max) for the bike it rides as well as my Trek Hybrid, the gearing is ideal for the sharp hills where I live and is smooth and silent in operation. The Frame is sturdy and I have added some mudguards which don't interfere with the folding."
- C. Walker, UK
"I am the proud owner of 4 Dahon bikes. I have the Boardwalk 6, Mariner 20, Speed 8, and my latest the Espresso. I'm totally hooked and living in the NYC area, I get stopped on a daily basis by people who are impressed with these bikes. I spend more time showing them the features than actual riding, but I don"t min. Keep up the good work and who knows, a fifth bike might not be out of the question."
- K. Miranda, Flushing N.Y.
"I am totally sold on Dahon bikes. I have had my Espresso for a year and a half, and on a daily basis I cycle anywhere from 15 - 20 miles. I'd be lost without it!
- S. Rolfe, UK
