Downtube Dyan,24" in the works for 2018 release?

There have been periodic references about this Downtube folder. I know plans change for a variety of reasons. I'd buy one in a heartbeat! Looks like just the ticket for us oldsters not yet ready f
or a trike.

Thanks,

Bob

Hopefully, if and when it's finally released, it will keep it's $550 USD price tag.

Musket,

Thanks for asking. FYI Dyan means light in Sanskrit.

Let me explain some of the complications:

1. My health- I have had serious issues this past year. I'm still not normal but I am better.
2. My factory rep - We worked together for 13 yrs and she left this year. It has created complications.
3. Tax war - I want to wait until this situation stabilizes.
4. New bike development - We have a super compact folder named Bliss, that will be introduced in 2020.

I expect to have Dyan models in March/April 2019. I will bring in a small number to test the market.

Thanks,
Yan
