The Dahon Ciao D8 Nexus IGH is a practical low step-through folding bicycle tailored for stylish urban commuting, relaxed town riding.

This is a very enjoyable bike to ride with the suspension seatpost & padded suspension saddle making it comfortable at the same time. It has the Nexus 8 Speed internal hub gears which are smooth to use and produces speed when required. It is easy to fold and unfold, even having a catch to keep the handlebar in place when folded. Comes with a rear rack & mudguards.

The front light dynamo wheel was upgraded last year to a wheel with a Shimano dynamo that produces little drag & is more efficient compared to the original wheel. Also has a new front dynamo lamp and the original rear battery light.

The bike was serviced late last year and has had little use since. The service included new chain, new inner/outer brake cables, new inner/outer gear cable, new 8 speed Nexus shifter, new handlebar grips and new pedals. Everything else, including catches, folding mechanism and locking points work well.

The bike is fun to ride and surprisingly fast.

Key Specifications & Features
  • Ultra-Low Step-Through Frame: Features a distinctively low-slung, U-shaped aluminum frame. This design is heavily optimized for easy mounting and dismounting, making it ideal for riders wearing casual or formal clothes, or anyone with limited mobility. 
  • Shimano Nexus 8-Speed IGH: Utilizes a Shimano Nexus Internal Gear Hub (IGH) instead of a rear derailleur. This allows you to shift gears while completely stationary (e.g., at a red light) and encloses the gears away from water, salt, and road grit.
  • 20-Inch Wheels: Built with compact 20" wheels that balance a stable, traditional ride feel with a compact folded footprint.
  • Low-Maintenance Drivetrain: Because the chain stays on a single sprocket without moving across a cassette, the bike suffers far fewer dropped chains and requires significantly less cleaning and grease.
  • Fully Outfitted for Commuting: Comes equipped with integrated mudguards, a rear luggage rack, and a kickstand.
