Dahon K-Feather folding e-bike: 12kg, 250W motor, $1,999 in Australia

Dahon's K-Feather electric folding bike is listed at $1,999 on Dahon's Australian website, and Bicycling Australia reviewed it on 9 October 2026. The reviewer, Harry Kooros, found it well suited to the first and last few kilometres of a commute, and to people who combine cycling with public transport or live in apartments.

Specs

Dahon AU lists a 24V 250W rear hub motor with 32Nm of torque, a Samsung 24V 5Ah (120Wh) battery rated IPX5 for water resistance, a weight of 12kg and a claimed range of up to 40km. Folded size is 63 x 40 x 78cm and the rider weight limit is 105kg. Bicycling Australia adds an aluminium frame, 16 inch wheels, V-brakes and a single speed drivetrain. The 250W rating matches the power limit used for e-bikes in Australia.

Where it fits

The review says it is not the bike to pick for a daily 30 to 40km commute, which lines up with the small battery and single gear. The weight is the main appeal: at 12kg it is far easier to carry up stairs or onto a train than most e-bikes. Check your state's rules and your train operator's policy on folding and electric bikes before relying on it for a multimodal commute.

What it means for buyers

The K-Feather trades range and gearing for portability. If your trips are short and you need to carry the bike, it is worth a look. If you ride longer or hillier routes, compare folding and compact e-bikes on motor, battery size and weight on BikeFinder first.
