Folding bicycle industry leader Dahon will be featured in an upcoming segment on Eureka!, a new series on the History Channel that features inventors and their stories of ingenuity behind commonplace objects such as coffee sleeves, board games, rolling luggage, exercise equipment and garden hoses. Eureka! will discover the tiny eureka moments, the hit-or-miss prototyping, its development into mass marketing – tales of perseverance, indelible design, crazy good fortune, and amazing personalities that all left their mark on the world in unforgettable ways.

Who are the masterminds behind these commonplace objects we use all the time, and how did they come to be? Eurkea! tells stories of ingenuity on a humbler scale, and celebrates ordinary people who struck it rich by becoming inventors. The stories are inspirational, aspirational and most of all, identifiable. They are also the stuff of legend.

The series is being shot in North America and the UK from September to November 2015.
