“... the Vitesse is more or less in a class of it's own. ... Dahon is on to a winner.”
- A2B magazine, UK
“First of all thank you for some excellent service. My initial enquiries were answered promptly and fully and once I'd placed the order the bike came when you said it would. I'm delighted with the bike, as you say it rides beautifully, much nicer than the Brompton - it's easy to forget you are on a small wheeled folding bike.”
- H. Medley, UK
1st Place - Overall Test Winner
"THE extremely
comfortable Vitesse trounced the opposition. Only 50 seconds
passed before it was ready to ride, while folding took
less than 30. It was lightweight, handled brilliantly
and its smooth gripshift gearchange and three well spaced
ratios made easy work of our test route. It folded down
small and featured a bell, rack and bungees to secure
a case. Easily our Best Buy.”
