▲Exquisite workmanship, head tube big line LOGO
▲Dense welding joints, Seiko quality
adopts an integrated design of battery and seat tube, and the seat tube is naturally a circle thicker than an ordinary folding car. DAHON chooses to enhance the frame body and rear fork in frame design, which on the one hand meets the frame strength required for electric power to strengthen more power, and on the other hand, it is more coordinated and beautiful in the overall appearance design.
Lower the seat tube battery, bend the front vertical pipe, and fold the frame in half. This KEA693CM can be easily folded in just three simple steps, reducing the size, easy to carry and convenient storage.
▲Inner wiring design, the wiring hole is larger, and can accommodate brake, speed change, electronic control and other cables
middle motor Intelligently assisted
motor system is the soul of electric power. KEA693CM is equipped with 6V 200W DAHON customized mid-motor system . The entire system has an appearance of mini , with a sophisticated design, perfectly fitting the folding car shape. The compact mid-mounted motor is integrated and installed at the bottom of the frame. The motor mount and frame are tightly welded to the bottom of the beam and seat tube, replacing the conventional five-way position without affecting the original folding effect.
is limited by many restrictions on folding car's small wheel diameter, small wheelbase and small size. Generally, manufacturers will choose the cheap hub motor system as a solution. However, this KEA693CM is one of the few electric power folding systems in the market that have a mid-mounted motor system, with more direct linear power transmission and real-time and accurate power assistance.
DAHON custom mid-motor system has an internal design that exceeds the clutch ratchet mechanism. When the electric power is turned off, the motor is completely separated from the central shaft ratchet. Even when it is out of power, it can be as easy as ordinary bicycle . With a 9-speed speed change system, it can be easily ridden. The lightweight mid-mounted motor uses a 9.5AH hidden seat tube battery, with a pure electric range of about 50 kilometers; and a support range of about 80 kilometers.
electric self-driving dual drive travel
▲The pure electric drive
is different from other products on the market. In the common electric assisted drive mode, DAHON also equipped KEA693CM with a pure electric drive switch, which can be driven by pure electric, located on the right hand side. When the motor is turned on, you can choose to step on electric assist and pure electric drive, which will increase the fun, and open up the new track of DAHON's "dual drive electric folding bicycle ", which meets people's daily daily travel needs and is a perfect combination of bicycles and electric assisted vehicles.
battery is connected to the motor through a spring-type cable, which optimizes the connection position between the battery and the motor and the plug position. The waterproof and dust-proof aviation joint is more introverted and the unplugged and unlocked logo is more intuitive. At the same time, it has also been replaced with thicker and more protective cables, which solves the embarrassing scene of the previous generation of cables being easily hit by foot when lowered the seat tube. At the same time, it will not fall off during daily riding. DAHON is more mature in the design of the battery and motor wiring.
Practical configuration Details optimization
Friends who have been following Meiqi.com for a long time will find that we had an in-depth review of the big bank's mid-electric power-assisted folding car two years ago. So after two years of careful polishing, what are the latest models upgrades?
You will know that the latest model is an almost all-round upgrade, such as upgraded disc brakes, full internal walk, power-off brake handles, wide tires, front and rear fenders, front and rear headlights, rear shelves, speakers , etc. It not only has important configurations that greatly improve driving safety, but also practical configurations that expand more practical scenarios. Even protective glue is applied to the easily damaged position of the footrest, which is really thoughtful.
KEA693CM upgraded disc brakes, with stronger braking power, can slow down in time when encountering complex urban road conditions, and can also be more confident when moving at high speed.
▲9-speed DAHON customized speed
The new KEA693CM has upgraded the internal wiring solution. All cables are unified to the lower end of the head of the frame. The collected and organized wire harness is uniformly wrapped, and the front and rear disc brake cables are also properly placed. The main body of the frame has no exposed cables. The optimized internal walking is simpler from the side.
▲DAHON patented folding head tube technology
Upgrading more intelligent electronic functions means more cables. Although some electronic cables have been integrated, many mother and child connectors on the front of the car are indeed inevitable.
▲Front and rear fenders, headlights, reflectors
▲LCD instrument, simple to control, 5-speed power adjustable, can clearly display dynamic riding data such as real-time speed, mileage, battery level, gear display, etc.
Single buttons for headlights and horns. This standard safety configuration on electric bicycles is not common in electric motorcycles. The light switch and horn sound can be freely controlled to make the riding environment safer.
The whole vehicle comes with front and rear fenders and rear shelves in the factory. It is good to go out to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, take a walk with your pet, and even install a cargo basket. There is also a hole for installing a license plate under the taillight, which is full of practical configuration.
The weight of the whole vehicle is increased and the center of gravity tends toward the center of gravity. The foot support should naturally be arranged in the middle position that can stabilize the weight of the whole vehicle. DAHON also put protective stickers on positions that are easy to hit when the foot pedal crank is reversed, and the details are in place.
Quick folding folding footsteps can save more space when folding.
Ride experience
The whole car still maintains the high-end texture of the DAHON folding car. DAHON's exquisite workmanship and paint water craftsmanship are praised. A touch of red is always the most eye-catching existence in the crowd. The texture of this paint water is actually somewhat different from that in the photos. When you see the real thing, you will feel that the "unusual" evaluation of it was superficial after all. Against the backdrop of the sunset, this colorful red color is brighter, showing a lively temperament similar to the "soul-moving red" of Mazda . Even if it stops in the distance, it can attract the eyes that want to find out.
The perfect integrated design of the motor, frame and battery makes the whole vehicle lightweight, small and easy to carry. The small body and high-end texture are also pleasing to the eye at home, and can be called the appearance of the folding car that helps the electric power to help the folding car. The battery is integrated with the seat tube. The biggest advantage of this design and the mid-mounted motor is that the front and rear counterweights are reasonable, and the entire vehicle has a more stable center of gravity.
mid-mounted motor detects the pedaling force in real time. As long as you step on it, gently turn crank , it can trigger the motor to assist, smooth and smooth in an instant. After riding for a while, I feel that the motor pedals and helps to be comfortable, relaxed and natural, and effortless. It can be easily controlled whether it is a flat-road climb. The most important thing is effortless! Even if you encounter particularly steep terrain, turning on pure electric mode can take you out of trouble. The dual-drive mode of the electric self-drive mode is really delicious! The upgraded settings of wide tire disc brakes also allow the small-wheel drive vehicle to have a more comfortable and safe riding experience, and face various emergencies on the commuter road more calmly.
The product with power is faster and the frequency of riding is higher, so the editor pays more attention to its safety performance. This KEA693CM comes with front and rear headlights, and the rear headlights are connected to the brake signal. As long as you click the brake light, the rear headlights will light up immediately, sending a timely deceleration signal to the pedestrians and vehicles behind them. When driving at night, the taillights will automatically light up after turning on the headlights. The addition of front and rear fronts greatly improves daily riding safety, without fear of darkness, and the choice of riding time is more free.
After getting off work, ride on KEA693CM and easily ride across the cross-river bridge across the Pearl River , enjoying the wind blowing freely from all directions. With the addition of electricity, the slope of the bridge is no longer the weakness of riding, and I also have more thoughts to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the road. It is easily stuffed into the trunk at a discount on the weekend, and taking it out for camping greatly improves the boundaries you can explore and harvest more unknown scenery. It is perfect for short and medium-distance urban commuters and outings.
Regarding the switching experience between pure electric and auxiliary electric power assist modes, from pure electric to electric power, it is very fast and direct intervention, and when the transition from electric power to pure electric mode is changed, it will be a little slow due to safety and the setting of the motor structure. It is recommended that the assist mode is very comfortable to use in daily life. It can also extend the battery life while achieving easy riding. Why not?
is a serious new national standard model, so its assist will not be very fast (the speed exceeds 25km/h and stop assist), and a prompt sound will be issued after speed exceeds 15km/h. KEA693CM fully complies with the various regulations of the new national standard, so everyone can buy it with confidence.
Overall, the super high appearance, mini body, easy assist, free switching dual-power mode, practical and safe configuration makes it a simple and easy to ride, smart and fashionable electric power folding car, setting a new benchmark for electric self-driving dual-drive models. If you want to add more cycling fun to your life in the near future, you may wish to pay attention to this new DAHON UNIOE16/KEA693CM mid-mounted electric power folding car.
