Live to Play to distribute Dahon bikes in Canada

Live to Play Sports has become the exclusive Canadian distributor of Dahon folding bicycles.

Since 1982, Dahon has been producing folding bicycles. The manufacturer highlights the convenience and performance  of its city, recreation and performance bikes. It also emphasizes that its bikes provide “green mobility.”

Through this new partnership, Dahon will introduce a new premium brand that represents Live to Play Sports’ ongoing goal to provide Canadian cyclists with high quality products.

“With growing density in Canada’s urban centres and more people looking to cycling for commuting and fitness needs, we recognize the importance of the folding-bike category to both retailers and consumers, says Martin Tammik, vice-president of aftermarket sales for Live to Play Sports. “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.”

“Dahon has been analyzing the Canadian bicycle marketplace for some time and realizes the potential for our folding bikes in the growing urban landscape,” says Joan Hu, Dahon’s international sales manager. “Live To Play Sports is a perfect fit for the distribution of our products and together we can make urban cycling easier for Canadians.”

Pre-season orders will be taken in December 2014, for delivery in April 2015.
