Dahon Boost (2011)

Most electric bikes are built like tanks: heavy and cumbersome. With the Boost, our objective was to design an electric bike with all of the portable convenience that our folding bikes are known for. We’re happy to say that after two years of hard work, and with the help of some Japanese motor and battery engineers, we succeeded. The Boost folds to the same dimensions as our best in class 20” wheel folders and weighs only 19.6 kg, making it one of the lightest, most compact electric bikes on the market. The smooth power will leave you laughing with delight as you sail up hills and pedal easily into ferocious head winds.
Technology Highlights:
State of the art, Japanese engineered, lithium ion battery, brushless motor, and smart charger deliver dependable service
The sophisticated motor and torque sensors add power in proportion to the force you apply to the pedals. Step on the pedals and the motor gives you a bit of extra push; stop pedaling and the motor immediately stops.
It’s just like riding a regular bike, except a lot easier.
3 × 3 gearing system allows riders to choose from 9 different riding modes
Simple modular design with only 3 modules is easy to service by bicycle dealers
2 year warranty on motor
Meets EU, US, and Japan standards
