Dahon Mu Uno Folding Bike 20-inch Wheels

The Dahon Mu Uno is a 20-inch wheel folding bicycle constructed from lightweight aluminium, featuring a unique two-speed Sturmey Archer rear hub with integrated coaster brake. This compact folding bicycle represents Dahon's established approach to urban mobility and space-efficient cycling.

Design and Construction

Crafted from aluminium, the frame delivers a responsive geometry typical of Dahon's compact folding bicycle designs. The medium frame size accommodates a range of rider heights, with a hinge mechanism enabling rapid transformation from full-size bicycle to compact transport configuration. At 12kg, the bike offers a balance between structural integrity and portability.

Components and Specification

The Sturmey Archer S2C rear hub provides an innovative two-speed drivetrain with integrated coaster brake, simplifying maintenance and reducing mechanical complexity. Brake configuration combines the coaster hub mechanism with additional caliper brakes, ensuring reliable stopping across varying urban riding conditions. 20-inch wheels support nimble handling and efficient rolling characteristics.

Ride Characteristics

Small wheel geometry contributes to responsive acceleration and manoeuvrability, particularly suited to urban environments with frequent stops and starts. The absence of suspension emphasises direct power transfer and mechanical efficiency. Riders can expect a direct, engaging riding experience with minimal energy loss.

Intended Use

This folding bicycle supports multi-modal transport scenarios, particularly urban commuting and environments where storage space is limited. The specification is ideal for riders navigating city streets, combining cycling with public transport, or requiring a compact bicycle for occasional transportation.
