Dahon Mu P8
Functionality meets styling. That's how many people who've used this unique bicycle describe it. It's the Dahon Mu P8, the folding bicycle that rides like a full one-piece bike.
This versatile folding bike, made by one of the premier "think green" bicycle manufacturers, has a lot to like about it. It's light and compact so you can easily use this on your daily commute to work. But you'll also appreciate its speed, and you'll find yourself using it for your weekend recreational excursions as well.
That's not all there is to like about this incredible machine. It has an adjustable set of handlebars. You can set it for "racing" or adjust it for a pleasant ride without regard to speed. You can also be assured that if it's speed you're looking for the tires on the Dahon Mu P8 are perfect. This bike comes with Schwalbe Marathon tires, which are flat resistant but still provides your need for speed.
Why the 8 in its name?
If you think it's because of the number of gears or speeds it has, you'd be absolutely right. And 8 speeds are all that you need. You'll soon discover once you're cruising on it, that it handles amazingly well in the city whether you're on a flat surface or climbing hills.
Probably the most convenient feature of the Dahon Mu P8, though, is the efficiency with which it folds and allows you to take it with you on the next phase of your commuter journey. It quickly and easily folds to a size of 33 by 13.5 by 25 inches. And it weighs a light 25 pounds.
This means you can ride it from home to the subway or train stop, fold it up quickly and carry it on the public transportation with you without knocking out the other passengers. Once you've disembarked the public transit system, you can quickly unfold it again and ride it the rest of the way to work. It doesn't get much easier than that.
The 20 inch size wheels provide a ride that's comparable to any full-sized bicycle.
Produced by an "environmentally conscious" Manufacturer
If you think the Dahon Mu P8 is awesome -- and most people who ride one tend to agree on this, then you'll also appreciate the "green mentality" that the Dahon Company manufactures into every one of its products -- and integrates into its daily operating principle.
The Dahon bike company likes to think it brings a unique orientation to the table. For one thing, the company insists that every bicycle is made with a green environment technology as its first priority. Dahon aims; it says on its web site, that it wants to have more individuals use environmentally sustainable forms of transportation. Its innovative philosophy is proving the veracity of its desire.
What exactly does an environmentally sustainable lifestyle mean? It means that thanks to bikes like the Dahon Mu P8 you can ride to work and not have to use a car. From bicycle to public transit and back to bicycle, Dahon has taken all the hassles and questions out of what may have been in the past a complicated commute.
