Can anyone identify this Dahon electric folder. Its not the Boost or the Roo and I cant find any other reference to a Dahon electric folder.

It appears to have a rear hub motor and to be single speed.

My best guess is that it is an adapted Dahon "Ciao!"

And not that nice to ride unless you are quite short!

Can I ask you about your bikes? I presume that you have installed front electric hubs? How did you get on spreading the forks to accommodate the hubs? Any tips?

Thinking about doing the same to a Dahon.

I use smaller width 83mm rather than 100mm hubs. All the details are in my build threads.

The first time I did it though I did have to spread them further before I got one of the smaller width hubs which makes it much easier.



I would only spread them this much (from 75mm to 100mm+) if they were steel.
