Folding the Dahon 20" Wheeled Folding Bikes

Folding the Dahon 20" Wheeled Folders (Helios & Speed)

Dahon's 20" wheeled line of folding bikes share the same folding procedure. There maybe differences in latching mechanism designs, but the overall procedure is the same. Make sure that all latches are secured before riding. Before I ride off, I personally squeeze both brakes together and rock the bike forward / backward to see if anything is loose. Also don't forget to secure the latching levers with the seconday backup plastic hooks on the stem and frame.

1)Unlock the stem locking lever and lower the stem to the side.

2) Release the sliding stem quick release lever and lower bar.

3) Unhook plastic safety lock and then push latching lever away from the frame.

4)Now fold the frame bringing the wheels together.

5)Release seatpost skewer to lower seatpost. You're done !!!!

6) Instead of carrying your bike, I leave the seatpost extended and push the bike like a stroller. Tilt the bike andlet it roll on the front wheel. Why carry the bike when you can push it ?
