I looked into a dynohub for a Dahon Speed that I ordered. By the time I
would get the wheel with the dynohub, and a set of lights, I was
looking at well over $300. I ordered a lithium-ion rechargeable battery
powered light for less than 1/2 the cost, with twice the intensity.
Another advantage is that it serves as a flashlight for night time
repairs.

The Dual Drive is indeed more complex.
