Check out the Curve D3, a great new folding bike from Dahon. Designed for urban commuters, the Curve D3 folds into a tiny package you can carry onto a crowded train or bus. It’s $399 - a great price for transportation that’s eco-friendly and good for your health too. It’s pricer cousin, the Curve SL, also folds up small enough to store under your desk at work, but also has useful city-bike conveniences like wheel guards and a rack. Both vehicles use the ultimate “alternative energy” - human muscles powered by whatever you ate for breakfast.
Either might make a good Christmas gift for the eco-concerned youthful urban commuter on your list.
Dahon, based in LA, says it was founded “with the singular purpose of convincing more people to use environmentally-sustainable forms of transport.” The company creates innovative, reasonably-priced folding bicycles - its first bike, back in 1982, started the folding-bikes industry, which has sold more than 2 million bikes worldwide.
Dahon bikes are assembled in factories in Taiwan, Macau, the Czech Republic and China and sold in more than 30 countries. Dahon says the majority of the company’s more than 700 worldwide employees travel to work by bicycle, public transport, or a combination of both. “Dahon is committed to creating green mobility solutions for people who live active, environmentally friendly lifestyles.”
Their bikes look good, too. Especially in Vogue:
