Our License Program For over 20 years Dahon has been dedicated to building the world's finest folding bicycles.We are constantly improving upon our designs to create stronger and lighter frames,safer latches and smoother handling. We feel that a folding bike should be convenient to fold, built to last,affordable for everyone,ightweight,and above all,safe. Our patented technologies have revolutionized the folding bicycle design and you can find our innovations on just about every folding bicycle out in the market.Dahon's success is based on a deep understanding of folding bicycles and their technologies. Unlike other folding bicycle manufacturers,we have an over 60-person dedicated research and development department that has built a portfolio of more than 130 patents.Our singular dedication to excellence in folding bicycle designs has become a barrier for other bicycle companies to build a safe,foldable bicycle.Many have unknowingly (and knowingly) infringed upon our patents. Dahon was born during the energy crisis in the 70s. Dr.David Hon,the founder of Dahon,envisioned using portable bicycles to lessen our dependence on oil,a non-renewable resource.He visualized a future of multi-modal transportation where bicycles that folded were used in conjunction with mass transit. This has been our long-standing mission-getting more people to use environmentally-friendly transportation.We,therefore,are offering other companies the opportunity to license our frame component technology.These official licensees gain the right to place an small serialized laser sticker on their frames.This identifies the legal licensees from many illegal infringers. Being a licensee of Dahon,you will have the right to use numerous,unique Dahon technologies.These superior innovations and designs put your licensed brand at the forefront of other folding bicycle competitors. We offer the following Dahon's technologies for licensing.
