"We are pleased to be able to offer Canadian dealers the leading brand in folding bikes and look forward to improving the availability and support for Dahon products in Canada."

Preseason orders will start being taken this month for delivery in April, with bikes shipping from LTP Sports' Vancouver and Toronto warehouses.
