See what other customers who have bought the Dahon Vybe D7 Folding Bike have to say about it:

T.W.:
“I don’t usually write reviews, but this was such a great buy and an exciting purchase!  I debated for a while whether to buy the Dahon Vybe D7 because I wasn’t sure whether I would use it.  I have a car, so why would I need a folding bike I thought.  Well I’m glad I did get it, it’s a great little bike that me, my partner and my Dad have all used it and it’s a lot of fun.  I’ve taken it to the park and on a 100 mile drive and it gives a great ride.  The folding mechanism is easy.  It took me a few days to get used to folding it as I found it a little difficult to get the magnets to connect between the wheels, but now everything fits together well.  Hoping this bike holds up well because we love it!”

A.C.:
The Dahon Vybe D7 is a great portable bike for getting around paved surfaces (bear in mind that this is not designed for off-road cycling).  The small wheels took a little while to get used to but once you get used to it you’ll love it.  This bike folds up very easily and I can fit it nicely in the back of my car.  The bike itself is visually appealing and rides very well.  It’s fast to accelerate, the brakes work very well and the handlebars are comfortable.  The seat is a little hard but is easily fixed with a seat cover.  The ride isn’t quite as smooth as some other bikes, you pick up a little more of the bumps, but it’s only slight and you get used to it, not a problem.”
