DAHON K3 + Metro

[@erichung8087]

I watch this video over and over again, love the accompanying music, so jazz feel and no worries, relaxed feeling, esp when coupled with care free environmentally friendly lifestyle riding on a folding bicycle😀

[@velofold]

Such nice, peaceful cityscapes. Thanks for showing us around using a foldy! It really does bring some calmness.

[@weekdaycycling]

The Dahon K3 is a very compact folding bike. I would choose this as my second bike for my trip into town.

[@flpirate4565]

Cool video. Nice little bike and great camera work. Thanks

2:13 --- I'm amazed you still "tucked in" your FB with u even in a spacious train. That's such a very nice display of FB-related etiquette. Keep it up, sir.

[@user-op1go8oe7s]

Thank you! :) It was a good reference!

[@fadjarroosdianto6079]

I have one and really love it.

[@erichung8087]

Exactly the urban living green lifestyle I dream of 👍

[@timetrialist]

you're living the life my friend, would it be possible to show us how to replace the tires on this bike? is it the same as any disc brake road bike?

[@aunaunywhereotw]

Cool!!

[@mr.vhintv3754]

i just bought a new one.. what is the recommended tire pressure?. im 65 kilos.

[@stephentillmann1903]

Hello Piotr. Thanks a lot for your Dahon k3 videos. They are quite inspirational! Just got myself a k3! Unfortunately the spokes of my rear wheel tend to loosen themselves again and again. Especially in the area near the valve of the tube. Due to those loose spokes my rear wheel starts to make noises and tends to lose its round shape all the time. Also the tube inside the tire tends to constantly lose lots of air pressure. I need to pump up my tubes in the front and rear wheel/tire at least once if not twice a week in order to have sufficient air pressure on my k3. Did you experience similar issues with your k3? If so, did you find any solutions or ways to cope with them? At this point, I would really appreciate any advice in this regard ;-)

[@piotrsowa1699]

I also had loose spokes in the rear wheel. The service solved the matter. I have to pomp all the wheels once a week. I replace the air valves and we’ll see. The others- work ok.

[@cherriezoey]

Hi there thanks for the vid! Just wondering if you are able to push the k3+ when it's half folded? Thanks!

[@piotrsowa1699]

No, it is DAHON not Brompton. 😊

[@4711blackman]

Hi Piotr, what was happened at minute five? Is it possible to drive the K3 at copplestones? Or is drive the K3 with camera on copplestones impossible? Regards from Germany, Sascha.

[@piotrsowa1699]

stones, I have little wheels14”

[@allanpolicarpio1656]

Hi Piotr, what’s the ride quality like? Is it stable and does it feel bumpy? Thanks!

[@piotrsowa1699]

if you have a good street that's okay. Any stone, crevice, etc. is not suitable for stable driving.

[@ElmarJournal]

Hi may i ask, what is your body wieght? Im 85kg, and dahon site said k3 max weight is only 85kg and i really want to buy this but let down by the specs sheet by dahon

[@piotrsowa1699]

I am 83 kg. Don’t worry will be ok.

[@user-kk8rt8gy4o]

Good

[@laurabekala6344]

Im thinking about the rear flywheel/ cog set. After changing the chain a few times this part will need to be changed next. Where would you look to buy this ? This bike is rare and I think it is not easy to get replacent parts for it. Or am I mistaken? I have owned one too for a few months now and I would like to get a cog set long before I will need to change it. Thanks

[@piotrsowa1699]

I am from Poland. We have DAHON distributor. And zero problem with parts. I know that this bike model is more popular in Asia. 😎

[@inxlee]

How come your k3 handlebar folds inbetween the frame. Thought it’s supposed to fold outwards as seen in most videos.

[@piotrsowa1699]

This is amazing American technology 😉

[@inxlee]

@@piotrsowa1699 haha I found out by buying a stem that folds inwards.

[@RX8GTR]

👍😄

[@PutaLatief]

how is the comfort compare to 16inch folding bike?

[@piotrsowa1699]

Ok, but you have to watch out for holes

[@samanthasamantha989]

Hi Piotr, which city are you riding in? it's very lovely.

[@piotrsowa1699]

Warsaw . This is the capital od Poland. 👍😁

[@piotrsowa1699]

@@piotrsowa1699 Thanks. very nice video.

[@yewsoonfatt]

ppl say the brake is not good, do u think so?

[@piotrsowa1699]

It is ok - for me

[@user-mi4td9wr5u]

당신은 외국 사람처럼 생기셧네요.

[@714SNF]

recommend this over brompton?

[@piotrsowa1699]

completely different bike

[@lethic123]

whats the price of K3 in your country?

[@piotrsowa1699]

~700 EURO

[@user-xn6cj9do9t]

how tall are you ? 178cm can ride?

[@piotrsowa1699]

I think, it is max. I do not recommend

[@marcwang4830]

Lovely video of life with k3. Do the ergon barends get in the way of folding ? And does it creak or flex too much ? Thank you!

[@piotrsowa1699]

everything is ok. the bike is not flexible

[@weekdaycycling]

I also have ergon bar ends from my old mountain bike.

[@nuthinbutnikk17]

Hey Piotr, do you have to carry the bike up while it is folded? Can you push it like some sort of a cart rolling it on its wheels?

[@piotrsowa1699]

No, only manual.

[@piotrsowa1699]

It is not Brompton 😁

[@pepelupasay9894]

fold the frame part only, hold the handle bar and push it forward, but not as smooth as Brompton. Incomparable.

[@hongjeongla]

good day
