I see that claim every now and then. It doesn't hold here in Parts Unknown, but it might in other markets. I would expect, though, for Dahon's costs-to-market to be higher, since they actually engineer and test


their designs while other companies just wait until a new Dahon model becomes successful and then build knockoffs. Of course, there can be a downside of trying to copy another company's designs without really understanding the engineering inside them.
