Frankfurt, NFAPost: Eurobike 2024 opened with grandeur at Messe Frankfurt in Germany on July 3 with an overwhelming participation of global biking company Dahon.
Dahon (at Booth F06, Hall 9.0), committed to providing green mobility solutions for global users, showcased the innovative technologies of its bicycle products and actively discussed the future trends, social impact, and standard-setting of the bicycle industry with thousands of exhibitors from around the world at Eurobike.
Headquartered in Illinois, Dahon received widespread acclaim for its “D-VELO” technology applied to its latest bike series, including the 700C carbon fiber roadbike Vélodon, carbon fiber folding bike Super PC22, and the ultra-light e-bike K-Feather, as well as the classic folding bikes Mariner D8, Boardwalk D7, and the high-performance e-bike UNIO E20.
“D-VELO” represents the culmination of Dahon’s technology innovations, encompassing multiple key patents that enhance the speed of all kinds of bicycle, and challenges industry norms.
Vélodon, the crown jewel of the “D-VELO” technology, left a deep impression on cycling enthusiasts with its unique frame design, robust lines, and top-notch specs. The launch of Vélodon marks the move of DAHON joining the fray in all bicycle categories. Tested to be 20%-30% stiffer than ordinary road bike frames, Vélodon effectively converts pedaling power into propulsion, making cycling easier and faster.
Vélodon features multiple patented elements, including a large tapered tube with a special angle bend, greatly enhancing the rigidity of the seat tube. Vélodon combines power and speed, offering a new experience of speed and power for cyclists.
With the growing popularity of E-Bikes around the world, more urban dwellers are considering lightweight and nimble e-bikes as their ideal mode of transportation. The K-Feather, weighing only 12kg, is another significant new product equipped with “D-VELO”.
Dahon’s ultra-light “K-Feather” truly takes minimalism to the extreme. As compact and simple as a folding bike, yet K-Feather functions as well as a long-range e-bike, thanks to the high-density battery hidden in the main tube, combined with the torque sensor, easily delivers a range of 40 kilometers.
Eurobike is a leading global bicycle trade show, connecting global customers, buyers, and manufacturers through diverse product displays. This event aims to showcase the transformation of bicycles, from sports and leisure equipment into sustainable future mobility tools, providing a platform for exploring innovative mobility solutions and new business models.
Dahon’s innovative products attracted many visitors and avid cyclists at Eurobike. The DAHON staff enthusiastically and patiently answered questions, explaining product features, usage scenarios, and precautions.
Dahon, founded by Dr. David T. Hon and with industrial engineer his brother Henry, now produces their distinctive folding bikes in their own factories and production lines in China, and most recently Bulgaria – where all production for Europe takes place.
With 220+ patents and over 35 years of quiet evolution and ingenious technologies later, Dahon’s superior parts and component technology continue to be sourced from the world’s best manufacturers.
Dahon’s appearance at Eurobike significantly enhanced the brand’s international exposure, allowing more cycling enthusiasts to understand and appreciate Dahon products. The event takes place from now until July 7. Visit Hall 9 [F06] to experience the unique charm of DAHON bicycles!
