Dahon Mariner D7 folds in less than 15 seconds so you can take it anywhere any place and It's light enough to carry on public transport.
Mariner can really move with the top speeds.
Easy to take out of the box and assemble.
Great for the boat.
Bike is also light. The bicycles have held up and has done fabulous in it's execution and is agreeable after the underlying softening up of the butt. We checked numerous collapsing bicycles and contracted the pursuit down to three distinctive makes.
The Dahon is normal in it's expense for a collapsing bicycle yet I feel it is manufactured more grounded and superior to alternate models.
