The Espresso is the bike for urban adventures: to the park on a sunny weekend; down the street for a lazy Sunday brunch; or to the market for some fresh penne, organic tomatoes, and a bottle of wine. The ergonomic saddle, ergonomic grips, and upright riding geometry make cruising around town fun and comfortable. We?ve even stashed a high capacity pump inside the seat post. The Espresso folds in seconds to stash away easily in a car trunk, your apartment, or on the bus. by dahon.
Reader Reviews
I bought the Espresso for the purpose of converting it into an electric bike. After over a month of riding, I'm very much in love with the Espresso. It folds enough to fit in the back of a Volkswagen GTI but can still support the weight of a battery pack, front wheel motor, and 170 pounds of me.
One of the two things I'm not happy about is the placement of the bottle cage bolts. It's not like there's a lot of available space for that on a folding bike, but putting it right above the front wheel means all the road crud gets flung up onto the mouthpiece of my bottle.
The other gripe is with the handlebar removal. The body folds in half with the flick of a switch, the seat post collapses with a quick-release... but I have to carry around a 5mm hex to remove the handlebars? Come on guys, there's got to be a more graceful hand-tightened way to collapse the bike.
I've actually featured the bike with the electric conversion in a series of videos over at my website if you want to see it in action.
