Dahon Vitesse
The Dahon Vitesse is a folding bike built around Dahon's established patented folding system, making it a practical choice for commuters and urban riders who need compact storage and portability. The 20-inch aluminium frame folds down to a manageable size, suited to anyone juggling cycling with public transport or tight storage spaces in flats and offices. At 6 feet tall, the seller still finds it rides well, which suggests it handles taller riders reasonably enough, though fit will depend on individual leg length and riding style preferences.
This example has been home refurbished and is ready to ride as it comes. The V-brake system (direct pull) provides reliable stopping power for urban cycling and is straightforward to maintain. The black aluminium frame is typical of Dahon's no-nonsense approach to folding bike design, keeping weight reasonable without compromising durability. For specific condition details, the photos provide the clearest picture of how the bike has been looked after and what wear it shows.
The Vitesse works well for shorter commutes, mixing cycling with train or bus journeys, and riders who value the ability to fold the bike away at the end of a journey. Collection is available from London, SE10.
