Dahon says
Frequent winner of folding bike shootouts that include bikes costing four times as much, the Vitesse is one of our most popular bicycles. It's light, rides well, and costs less than what most expect. Its light weight makes it ideal for trips that include a stretch by bus or train. Perfect basic urban transport.
