Dahon Mariner D8 goes off-road (Part 1)

[@zeniktorres4320]

It is a great bike for sure. Had my Dahon Mariner D8 for almost 2 years, no issues. I recommend it.

[@fender1000100]

The D8 is I think Dahons greatest bike. Very well made and feel great to ride.

[@qualifierone8899]

I have no experience with other models but this one does pretty good I can say. It’s been few years now still runs great

[@henrylawson430]

Don’t lay the bike down on its derailleur. You could bend it I think. Best have the derailleur facing up when in the boot of your car.

[@qualifierone8899]

Henry Lawson yes! You are absolutely right!

[@GreatGuyVideos]

Awesome movie, I can’t wait to get mine!

[@qualifierone8899]

GTspecial my son just took it and off he went. Great overall bike

[@lindah6451]

amazingly fun! Have you ride it up steeper hills? Thinking to get it. thanks

[@qualifierone8899]

Thanks! At 3:42 I’m going up pretty steep. Kids use it as a sledding hill

[@dimitrius7311]

Cool bike sir.

[@bentstrider]

I bought a Speed D7 a few months back. Stuck a Bafang 750 onto it and carry it with me on my semi for some decent rides during breaks.

[@qualifierone8899]

Converted electric, that sounds interesting!

[@mardiffv.8775]

I am glad that you are doing alright with your Dahon, you good old trucker. I like your cat too.

[@ehabtaleb1754]

Waw .. nice review .. i just got new one .. what u have used to lubricate the chain ?

[@qualifierone8899]

Thanks! I used Teflon chain spray. Hopefully chain stays cleaner

[@saharsaharizan2310]

Cool bike. I need one.

[@qualifierone8899]

Thanks! It fits our needs perfectly

Hi! I'm interested in Mariner D8, does the bike feel comformtable for long rides and off road? I'm talking about paths withou grass and more complicated than the one you have recorded.

[@qualifierone8899]

Guille Asensio Hi! This bike does it all but you need to understand it’s not made for off-roading. It has 20” wheels so gear shifter is very low close to the ground. As far as long distance...it goes far on a good surface

[@qualifierone8899]

Guille Asensio check my unfolding video and you’ll see what I’m talking about the gear shifter

[@qualifierone8899]

There’s three of us using this bike. It fits all...different ages, genders shapes. Great overall bike

[@CelticHeaven]

@@qualifierone8899 Geat! Thanks for your answer. I want to use it in my city but I do not rule out using it off road from time to time, even so it will not be on steep terrain because these bikes are obviously limited to easy ways. Thanks a lot!

[@terrakotik]

Off-topic: it was surprising to see the old Volga GAZ-21 in your parking lot.

[@qualifierone8899]

Yes…there was two, now they are stored somewhere else. Thanks for commenting

[@johnstack5008]

can this bike fit in a big suitcase when flying or travelling by train?

[@qualifierone8899]

Probably

[@johnstack5008]

I don't know anything about bikes but what is the advantage of bikes with big wheels over bikes with small wheels.

[@qualifierone8899]

Speed and comfort of the ride

[@jocomayano8760]

I like that bike. Wish I have money to buy it.

[@qualifierone8899]

Do little bit of saving

[@qualifierone8899]

Not sure, Dahon is the only folding bike I’ve ridden on and luckily it’s perfect for us
