If you decide to work with Dahon as our distributor or partner, it speaks a lot for your vision of business success.
Here are the four reasons why Dahon can meet your objective:
1. Global Brand for 40+ Years
In 1982, Dr David Hon, a famous American aerospace expert and physicist, founded DAHON and invented his first folding bike, which has since become the prototype of most modern folding bikes. The birth of DAHON has revolutionized the design of folding bikes. Today Dahon is one of the household names for folding bikes around the world. It was once awarded by Guinness World Record as “the world’s largest folding bicycle manufacturer and seller”, and Dr. Hon is well known as the “Father of Folding Bike”.
Dr. Hon enjoys esteemed reputation in the bicycle industry, receiving the “Lifetime Achievement Award” of Golden Bicycle in 2019, and the “Special Contribution Award of the Bicycle Industry” in 2020. In 2021, he was elected for the cover of “China Bicycle” magazine, and at the end of the year, he was interviewed by CCTV’s “Extraordinary Craftsman”, a television documentary series that interviews and gives key insight into China’s biggest enterprises, giving their audience the opportunity to learn all about their success stories and entrepreneurial spirit.
The strong brand influence of DAHON is likely to give stronger reasons for customer preferences, making any level of business co-operations much easier.

Dr. Hon initiated the “Sharing 360” brand promotion campaign, licensing dozens of Dahon’s core, key components and advanced technologies to fellow industry players. The campaign has achieved good results, many industry leaders have also shown great interest and support and dozens of contracts have been signed. DAHON aspires to achieve mutual benefit and reap win-win results within the folding bike industry through its outstanding contributions to improving the quality of global bicycles.
Thanks to the evolution of Dahon’s patented technology DELTEC, making folding bicycles stronger, safer and faster, DAHON has brought about a revolution of single-beam folding bikes.
