Dahon says

The Vitesse is one of our most popular models and is an excellent combination of performance, light weight, and value. Two versions, with 7 speed Shimano Nexus or 3 speed SRAM hub gear, offer low maintenance and trouble-free service, mile after mile. With a chainguard and optional dynamo hub, lights, mudguards and rack the Vitesse can be set up as the perfect urban machine. The ideal bike for cyclists looking for functional, convenient urban transport.
