Nice video. I had a ninebot electric scooter and had an accident due to the unresolved gap problem in the handlebar. Are you happy with this bike? Has the handlebar folding mechanism loosened? Or does it look as solid as the first day? I'll be folding it a lot because I'm going to put it in the trunk of the car. Can you advice?
Oh, that’s so cool! We enjoy ours a lot, if Dahon happens to ask what led you to them, mention my name. I don’t get anything out of it but they might like to know that I made it worth their while. Thanks for filling me in. Enjoy the bike!
I'm just sorry they didnt drill the upper bottle mount on the main frame. The Mariner has it. But the Vybe has this shiny red colour (maybe brighter right now, 2024), also, with the Deltec cable is a no brainer against the Hit ( = 6speed, not upgradable) I'm looking into this video because even after long research i now suspect this is the best all-around.
I had only heard about them in the past but never really paid attention to them. I can’t remember what turned that around for me. I’ve never been BIG into bikes but I like cool, innovative things that are fun and serve a practical purpose.
Hi Greg. I love this video/content. This is such a cool bike. 4-5 of those would fit easily in our garage in winter w/our cars in there so that’s awesome. I’m going to check out these bikes thank Greg
It's a tension wire, does a similar job to the bottom tube in a traditional triangles frame. Reduces stress in other parts of the frame so allows much higher max rider weight than similar frames without and will increase the life of the frame.
I take a bus weekday to Manhattan and use citibike to ride to my job, since Lyft started managing citibike, the service quality decreased, infuriating sometimes. I'm thinking this Dahon may be good to have my ride and stay free from citibike. The price now at Dahon is just $486, close to cheap unknown brands! This bike is the affordable "urban" bike that Dahon offers. I discovered the brand by researching at Google. Great video! Which camera did you use?
To me it looks like you are struggling to get some speed. Just like My former Citizen Gotham 7 ($569). What a Major dissapointment.( I will NOT buy a Citizen again)...it was hard as hell to pedal and the difference between 1st gear and 2nd gear was massive. I posted it for sale the VERY next day after purchased. Hated it. and this Bike looks to function similar. Maybe something to do with the Shimano system. I need a bike that I can peddle little and effortlessly (AKA Fun) and goes flying.
@@jasonclarke7422 я бы посоветовал по возможности всё-таки брать с багажником и крыльями, потому что в дождь будешь весь мокрый. А так Я очень доволен,лучшая покупка 2024. Мерида на 29 колесах едет очень плохо,как трактор,нет наката совсем,а эта малютка едет легко.

I bought this one, waiting for the delivery
Satisfying reviews ❤
I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! I have another DAHON video coming out in a couple of days
Excellent review. Thank you. On sale: decided to order one; based, partially, on your review.

I’d not heard of a folding bike until this video. Huh, pretty cool!

Thanks Mark, this is as fun as I expected
6:53 - What is a fixed string under the frame of Dahon VYBE D7 for? I was not able to find any details about it, please advise.

DJI Pocket 2: amzn.to/3HM8d4k
How's she holding up? Any idea how it compares with the Hit D6?
They ride pretty much the same but The Vybe has 7 gears, the Hit has 6
Nice video! Just got a good deal on one from Dahon $410 bucks brand new!
That is a good deal
Congrats Greg!
Thanks

Thank you so much

Great video. Motor bike ride. 👍
Thank you, that’s what I’m looking forward to also. Should get my motorcycle back next week
What is your height? I have been told, I might be too tall for this bike, I’m 6’-1”.
I’m 6’-1”
i bought it in russia today.white version without багажник и крылья.
Are you enjoying your new bike after 3 months of ownership, is there any advice that you would give for anyone thinking of buying this bike.
