Meaning your header for this thread is not marketing ? sensationalism at best ? We have enough of these fake news in our country.
Its not about semantics or some wrong words used by our friends in china making this vid. Its not even about patents or anything like that, its an open source product, which competitors are able to buy from Dahon at cost. Dahon had patents at one time for their handleposts, but allowed Brompton to use them as well. It is all about making folding bikes BETTER for people who otherwise might not be able to ride them. Its about getting MORE people on bikes ( no matter what brand ) and be safe or safer than without.
Would that not be of interest to us all ?
I agree that the video could have been done different. Dahon would never show a different manufacturer frame to do this, besides the frame shown has special braze ons, while the real Deltec has clamps to fit almost every bike.
Instead of being positive about this you seem to want to turn this around and say that Dahon frames are breaking ....
Isnt there enough negativity on this board ?
