What kind is it?
A Dahon Curve D3.
How fast does it go? How many gears?
As fast as I can pedal it. Three gears; it probably would’ve been smarter to get something with a few more.
How much does it weigh?
About 25 pounds.
How does it feel on hills (both up and down)?
It can be ... difficult, likely due to a combination of the lack of a really low gear and my untrained legs.
How fast can you fold it?
Fast! About 30 seconds. People are constantly marveling at how fast it folds up when I do it on the sidewalk in the city.
How portable is it?
The fold is pretty small, so I’ve been able to stash it in all sorts of places.
Can you stay clean while carrying it?
Despite not having a chain guard, I have never had any problems with that.
Can you take it on transit? On an airplane?
Absolutely! I’ve lugged my bike on New Jersey Transit trains, the Long Island Railroad, and city buses. On an airplane? I haven’t tried… yet.
