Hi, Sterling. Thank you very much for this long-term update - it's always gratifying to know that the Dahon Mariner can last a good long time with regular, proper maintenance. I hope you will give us a 15-year update next year! 🙂
Neat bike video! Just was working on my DAHON espresso, same color as yours. Cleaned and tuned it up. The polished aluminum and grey decals are beautiful clean and unobtrusive. I’m looking to make mine an e bike.
I love my dahons. I had a mariner do and D7. Then I got a speed P9. I eventually switched to tern though because their hinges are top notch. Dahon stem hinge was too weak and they never improved it. Other than that I love them. Glad you enjoy yours. 👍
Hello, found this video. Did you have problems with your stem hinge/ latch things that wobbles every few rides? I ve put my b Mariner d8. ( 2017) on eBay. I try to adjust it at home but sometimes the little springs come off and I have to take it to the repair shop. I even replaced the cam thing ( little white bolt thing and the whole stem set. Still, after every few rides the thing gets wobbly again :-( I ride only 3 miles a day and only fold and unfold once, leaving unfolded at work in the shed. Should I persevere with my Dahon?
So nice to have a video review after a long term 12 years
Nice to see a review that dosen't spend most of the time showing how to fold/unfold :)

I just made a improvement on the hinge to remove the play.
Nice review thank you
That is a beatiful bike, like a gem !
Awesome review. Does the screws or bolt rust at any point?
Nice looking bike
