Overview
A 20-inch, 7-speed folding bike from Dahon with an aluminum frame, adjustable seat and handlebars, and built-in mudguards, positioned as an entry-level folder for commuting and casual rides.
Dahon markets the Route as an easy way into folding bikes, combining a compact aluminum frame with enough gearing to handle flat roads and mild hills. The one detailed owner review describes it as fun for neighborhood riding, with narrow tires as the main tradeoff in ride comfort.

Performance notes
The 7-speed gear system covers flat roads and mild hills, while the adjustable seat and handlebars let riders dial in their position. Built-in mudguards keep splashes off during wet rides, and the frame folds for storage in cars, on transit, or at home. One owner said the ride would be smoother with wider tires but still enjoyed riding it around their neighborhood.
