Description
An extremely popular model, the DLT Boardwalk 1 is comfortable, fun to ride and easy to use. The single-speed drivetrain and coaster-brake rear wheel make the Boardwalk 1 super simple for anyone to fold, unfold and ride. It even comes with fenders to keep you clean no matter where you ride! Its a fantastic bike for commuters, frequent flyers, sailors, RV travelers or for just cruising around town! And it folds and unfolds in a blink so you can hop on a bus if you run out of gas. Comes with fenders and rear rack. Patented folding technology means that the flip of a single lever is all that you need to fold and unfold your bicycle. Folding and unfolding your bike has never been easier. Also, their unique DoubleLok technology means that every folding latch has a secondary lock to maximize rider safety. It serves as a reminder to the rider to make sure the latch is properly secured before riding.

review is from: 09 Boardwalk S1 Folding Bicycle - Dahon LicensedTechnology

I am a bike racer and mechanic. The S-1 is an awesome urban bike. The weight mentioned by another reviewer is an advantage, not a disadvantage, as this bike's chromemolly frame is virtually indestructible. The weight represents quality construction, and allows this bike to be ridden over potholes at 30mph downhill without breaking, day after day. You can literally throw it in an suv, and never worry about damaging it. The single speed makes riding it ultra-simple, and you get a GREAT workout when pedaling. Ultra-stable and a joy to ride.

If you want multispeeds or less weight, choose a newer Dahon, but if you want ultra-reliability and utility, this bike can't be beat. And at this price, you can't go wrong.

I motorize these bikes, and have never had a frame failure after 12,000 miles and 3 years on the same bike.

I hope Dahon keeps making them forever.

Awesome, ultra-tough bike !
