This is my first folding bicycle. It came very well packaged, but it was very easy to prepare and assemble. The protective cardboard, foam and plastic are easy to remove and probably useful if you need to ship it later. For assembly I only needed to thread in one pedal, pump up the tires to 50 psi and make one small adjustment to the front brake. Unfolding the bike is very intuitive and only takes about 30 seconds. The hardware is very high quality. I rode it straightaway and I was not disappointed. This bike seems like a very nice commuter bike. If you have fairly steep hills you may need a lower gear, but I found it handled most of what I was riding in (mildly hilly suburb) very well. If you don't want to spend the money on a Brompton or a Tern, I think you'll find the Dahon D8 to be a great folding bicycle at a very acceptable price. I am very pleased.

I've had this bike for about a month now and wanted to gather up some experience before writing this review. First off, the bike arrived and the little magnet was broken. The seller was very good though in getting back to me and shipping the broken part to me, which I fixed.The bike itself is a very eye-catching silver color. It's very attractive and makes me very wary of leaving it locked up outside anywhere. Many people have complimented me on the bike. Looks are no issue here.The bike is also really adjustable and you can customize the height of the handlebars and seat easily . Folding the bike is very easy as well. I've commuted to work on this bike (about 20 minute ride) and have had no issues. I think the ride is pretty smooth. The bike saddle sucks though. I had to swap it out for another one. The rack in the back is decent. I've had a bit of trouble trying to find a pannier or saddle bag that will work with the rack though. I might have to do more research.The other issue I have to note is that a minor part has already broken in the month I've had the bike. While going up a hill a week or two ago, the dial that shows which gear I am on got stuck. The gears are still shifting fine, but the dial is stuck. I don't know if this worth going to the bike shop though as it really doesn't affect the handling of the bike.Overall I recommend the bike. It's easy to use for a newbie like me and folds down in compact fashion, which is great if you live in a small apartment. It's also made out of quality materials. I haven't really detected anything that is flimsy. I have also ridden a Schwinn Loop, which is another foldie that is a lot heavier, cheaper, and not as good quality. The Mariner is definitely a better ride for sure.

I bought this bike as a travel bike. It surpasses that in every way and is a regular bike I ride, not just when traveling. My main bike is a Surly Disk Trucker. I have built it for long distance riding/touring. It is a great bike, also, however I can't take it with me on a lot of my trips. That is where the Dahon Mariner D8 comes in. With the gear range (30"-90"), fenders, and the rear rack standard on the bike it is an amazingly rideable bike as a stock bike. I was impressed with it from the first time I rode it.The only "change" from the stock bike/components I have made thus far is I swapped the pedals for combo platform/SPD clipless. Due to some knee problems in past years from riding all my mileage riding is with SPD pedals/shoes. However, the ability to switch to platforms helps me when I need to make a quick jaunt in regular shoes or if I am high on miles and I need to give my calf muscles a break by shifting my foot positions (that I can't do while clipped in).The gear range on the bike (30"-90") has been OK for most riding I have done. However, I do wish it had more low-end gearing for climbing hills. On the top end I find the gearing adequate as I won't be going faster than I could pedal in top gear on this bike anyway.I did rate this 4 stars for "sturdiness". For what the bike is, it is a very stable bike and I have no problem riding it. I ride it regularly. However, one must understand from the get-go that the smaller wheel bikes are "twitchy" compared to regular wheel size bikes (26", 700c, etc). That isn't a bad thing, just expect it and if you do I'm sure you will also find the bike very ridable as I do.For comfort I rated the bike as 4 stars. The reason for this is I don't find the straight bars "comfortable". That is just me. I get nerve and circulation problems in my hands so I constantly move my hand positions to circumvent that (on every bike). My hand positions are quite limited on the straight bar. That is one of my future upgrades - bars that give me more positions (probably drops, but not sure just yet). I will say, though, for me the stock saddle is very comfortable. Depending on the length of my ride I may not even put on bike shorts. If I'm riding all day the combination of the saddle and bike shorts is great.As for set up out-of-the-box - if you are a decent bike mechanic you can set it up. The wheels need aligned, brakes need adjusted, magnet clip (folded bike has the frame halves that lock together with a magnet clip) needs aligned, the rear derailleur needs adjusted, and the chain guard on the down tube needs adjusted. One note on the chain guard - adjust this so it is close to the top of the chain and it isn't rubbing the side of the chain. I have had the chain bounce up and through the gap in the guard on a ride where it was a challenge getting the chain down on the ring. Once adjusted it shouldn't give you any trouble. Fold latches should be "tight", but you shouldn't have to muscle them closed. There are adjustment nuts to tune the pressure. You want the latches under good pressure, not loose, and not super tight. I have never had any sense of the joints being "loose" or feeling like the frame was going to open or bars fold while I've been on it - very sturdy design. The rear derailleur may take a few tweaks to operate without a hitch. I didn't get everything dialed in on my bike until about 50 miles. Its all smooth now.Don't throw anything away from the box/packaging until you have the documents and parts. There is a small bottle of paint they give you also. It should be in the small parts box with the pedals etc.For my phone holder on the bike I use a RAM QuickGrip on the lower steer tube with an X-Grip mount. I use a piece of string or a zip tie to lock the phone in place so it doesn't bounce out. There are other phone mounts RAM makes, I just haven't tried them. The combination I use works and I have another X-Grip I use with a 7" tablet as well. I use the tablet for larger scale mapping/navigating/trip recording on some long rides. My main bike computer is a Garmin Edge 1000, however (in the pics of the bike set up that is what goes on the bar accessory mount, then my phone is just used as a phone and to compare routing to Google Maps when needed).If you are looking for a do-everything compact bike to take with you, or you deal with small spaces for storage on a regular basis (between home and commuting to work, for example) - this is a fantastic bike so long as you expect the "twitchyness" from the small wheels and don't expect to be climbing many hills.Two upgrades on the horizon for my uses of the Mariner D8 are:- Handlebars - more ergonomic/more hand positions- 2 chain rings and front derailleur - I may bump the large 53t ring there now up a hair just to have an extra higher gear combo and add a smaller one around 40-47t so I can drop down low in the hillsLast note on panniers on the stock rack -I use the "front" panniers of my Ortleib Packer Plus series, the Sport Packer Plus's, as rear panniers at times. I have the clip mounts to where the bags are as far back on the rack as I can get them. I have no problems with heel strike at all. A lot of people and bike shops probably will advise against loading a folding bike down due to clearance issues, but I have not found that to be the case at all. I wear size 10 shoes and use SPD clips. The combination with the bike and panniers is a winner for me. If you tried to get larger rear panniers on the bike you would be in for some issues on two fronts - drag on the ground when leaning in turns in addition to heel strike - unless you could come up with a way to extend the bags to the rear further. This, however, may change the handling of the bike with the weight distribution.Would I buy the bike again? Absolutely!Would I recommend the bike to others? Absolutely! And I let them go for a test ride on it too if we get the chance.

I bought this bike as a commuter vehicle to be able to bike to a train platform and then bike from the train to work. For that purpose, it works great. I can store it under my desk, bring it onto a crowded train, and fold and unfold it quickly as needed. This bike was recommended by sweethome.com, a reputable review site, and is a great balance between affordability and quality.My only quibbles were in assembly - which was a bit more difficult than described here. You need to screw on the pedals, which is a challenge the first time, as the threading has been painted over, connect the chain to the pedal gear, adjust the tightness of the main hinge (mine arrived so tight that I couldn't close it - after shortening the length of the bolt by screwing it in, it closed easily), connect the seat post to the frame, and fill the tires with air. Nothing serious, and I was able to do it with a pair of pliers and a bike pump, but it's not quite ride-out-of-the-box-able.Also, expect the seat post and handle bar posts to get visible scratches on them from day 1 as you raise and lower them into their telescopes. Not the end of the world, but annoying to put scratches all over your brand new bike.All in all, I'm very happy with this bike though. Get lots of complements at work and feel safe and not too clownish when I ride it to work.
