The 2026 Eurobike, the European International Bicycle Trade Show, drew to a close at Messe Frankfurt after four days of intensive industry exchange. Folding-bike innovator DAHON captured attention with the debut of its new 'DAHON-V' technology suite and a portfolio of new bicycles built around it.

The Tube may be the fastest way to cross London, but for better commute, DAHON TECH (HKEX Stock Code: 2543.HK) has a new idea, including two wheels. We spoke with Dr. David T. Hon about the company's new tri-fold bike, the Lunden GR.

Cycling can still attract interest from both institutional buyers and non-institutional investors, as the heavily oversubscribed Dahon IPO at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange showed last September. Amidst all the excitement on the exhibition floor of the Taipei Cycle Show, Bike Europe had the opportunity to speak with Dahon's owner, Dr David Hon, about his company's strategy.

For a brief moment during the pandemic boom of 2020-2021, the cycling industry appeared to enter the mainstream of global mobility investment. Venture capital flowed into direct-to-consumer e-bike brands, and private equity firms took significant stakes in several major European players.

In early January, folding bicycle manufacturer DAHON TECH (HKEX Stock Code: 02543.HK) and Ideal Bike Corp (TPEx Stock Code: 8933) signed a strategic cooperation agreement at DAHON's headquarters, with a focus on green mobility. Amid intensifying global market competition, the alliance centers on overseas business expansion, "tapping into the complementary strengths of both parties."

Dahon, one of the biggest folding bicycle makers in the world, jumped on its Hong Kong trading debut after investors flocked to its initial public offering on September 9, 2025. Dahon Tech, a subsidiary of Dahon, successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. "With an oversubscription rate of 7,558 times, media recognized it as Hong Kong's most oversubscribed listing ever," adds Dr. David Hon, the company's founder and CEO.
