IF-Mode Folding Bike

Features
Frame: Pacific AL7005 IF Monocoque with Single Swing Arm
Tire: Kenda Kwick Roller Sport 26 x 1.5 inches

Description
The clean, striking IF Mode folding bike is designed for next-generation commuters who, until now, may not have considered cycling or folding bikes to be an option. That's because the IF Mode doesn't have an oily chain, a complex tube with hidden dirt traps, or other cluttery, messy bicycle features. Instead, the chain is completely hidden within the sleek chain guard, while the monocoque frame keeps the bike lightweight and easy to maneuver. Despite these differences, the IF Mode performs on the street just like any other lightweight, well-balanced bike. Just as importantly, the frame folds up compactly with a few quick clicks, so you can store it on a car trunk or bring it on the bus. It's the ideal bike for city commuters who don't want to change into "bicycle warriors" outfits each time they ride, or for commuters who may use public transport or their car for some of their journey. In fact, the IF Mode is so clean and well designed that it looks just as sharp on a high-end streetcar as in an office, like a sleek MP3 player or iPod.
The IF Mode is the winner of the 2008 Eurobike Award, the iF Product Design 2009 Gold Award, and the Taiwan Excellence Silver Award

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 !
