Description states, "Dahon Neos rear derailleur offers crisp, fast shifting and a low profile design." Are there gears on this bike? Wheel size?

This must be a mistake because there is only a single gear on the Dahon Boardwalk. Don't know the wheel size.

One speed. The Neos does not shift gears. Rather, it is intended to keep the chain from falling off, which has been a big problem on each of the 4 Dahon models I've owned over the years. The chain path is just too short not to need help staying in place.

Wheels are 20 inch, I believe. You raise the seat to length you want it. It does not have gears. It has a hand brake or you can use pedals to stop.
263142
Just one gear on the bike that I got. Which is probably all I think you would need on these type of bikes.

The Dahon boardwalk is single speed. I believe the neos is a separate product, a replacement derailleur. I don't know if it's compatible with the Boardwalk or not.

having additional gears to choose from allows the bike to climb hills easier using the lower gears(more pedal revolutions) and obtain a faster cruise speed in the higher gears(less pedal revolutions) so it works much like a manual transmission in a car. I found that this would not fit the Schwinn meridian adult trike however , the axle is not long enough

It is only 7-Speed which is on the rear wheel. You have the twist handle on the right handle bar that works the rear derailleur. I find that 7-speeds is enough to get me most places that I want to go and I'm 59 years old and love this bike!

No...this bike has only one gear. No shifting like on the ten speeds. As long as where you plan to ride is flat not a problem. Going up hills is a little tougher with only the one gear.The trade off is get more excercise...if exercise is a consideration.

Yes I was able to change gears. The skewer included replaces the stock one when in the trainer. The gearing will function just as if you were riding your bike on the ground.

The german website www.maedler.de (google it) has it all: gears, clutches, bearings, belts (even US-standard) .. an awfull amount whatever you need for transmissions . All with pictures description and dimensions, any size. Including hints and calculaters for dimensions. All high precision & quality. They accept PayPal. As far as I remember you can switch to english. Very fast delivery. (I don't know, why the website is not comming up just now)

028342's answer is correct. however they come up with 18 speed because this can work on a 6 speed rear. the widths of each gear between 6/7/8 are roughly the same but 6 speeds for the most part went out of production years ago so they stopped marketing chains for them. Bikes are usually marketed for how many total gears they have ( the number of chainrings in the front x the number of gears in the rear). but chains are made for specifically for the rear gearing due to difference in width between each cog and width of the cogs teeth (more gears=smaller width) so they are marketed for the rear gearing and include the total gears as an added discriptor.

It does. It's in the middle where you see that black box. It has four gears and you can adjust with a lever horizontally. Any gear is too fast for me though due to rear-drive's big wheel and its rotation. Next time I still want a front-wheel drive because it is easy to turn just by lifting the front wheels. Hope that helps.

Agree with Jeff, The derrailleur / shifter cable was included but no brake cable or housings. New product packaging may have changed since then as it 's been awhile. I 'd plan on having the brake pieces available if your doing the installation yourself. If not, Your local bike shop will sort it out for you. Hope that helps. Mike

No front gears. REAR: Freewheel: 7 Cogs "DNP "Slick Shift System" (14T Smallest to 28T Largest) I hope this info answers your question.

Right, only one number should have been listed. They also left in the derailleur remark. It must have been accidentally left in the ad from the write ups on the other Dahons, which are geared.

It has 3 * 8 gears, so 24 gears in total, although, as with all derailleur gear sets, 2 permutations are not recommended (where the chain is on the small cog at the front and small cog at the rear, and large cog at the front and large cog at the rear).

I never rode with the old version, but have used this new hub on 2 different folders, both 20" bikes. One has a 44 tooth chain wheel, the other a 52 tooth chain wheel. I prefer the 44 tooth chain wheel but the 52 is faster and would be better if there were no hills. It shifts at about 7-8 mph with a 20" wheel, regardless of chain wheel or cog. Some adjust the spring tension to shift at a higher speed, but I ride it as it came and it works well for me.

Unsure. The training wheels were installed on a different bike with no gears.

Katie, my tomasso road bike came with a 12-25 rear cassette which for most riders sort of standard. My problem with it is due to the amount of climbs in this area. I needed something easier on my knees as I'm pushing 50. I bought the 11-30 and it's much easier when I'm going uphill without pushing the red zone on my fitness pal. I probably would like the 11-32 but didn't want to have to change out on my rear derailer. So in summary the smaller gears are for in shape healthy young riders who can mash bigger gears. The 11-30 allowed me to gain more speed downhill and two gears extra on the steep parts which helps my knees and vox o2.

These are disk break system(work for MTB), so it is independent of drivetrain if you meant that. One thing to know is that the levers are swapped. It means right lever controls front, and left lever controls the back wheel, which is reversal of 99% of Shimano break system I know. The dealer in China responded to my posting and said can swap the levers if I send it back, but shipping to China would cost at least $30 which is meaningless, where I paid around $75~$79 for the set. I'm not even sure if this swapping is by design or defects from manufacturing.
