Dahon Curve D3 Folding Bike 16" Wheel - 3 speed
The Dahon Curve D3 is a lightweight folding bike designed to slip into a car boot, motorhome, or boat with minimal fuss. Built around a 16-inch wheel and aluminium frame, it's the kind of bike you pack away and forget about until you need it, then unfold and ride. Dahon's patented folding system means it collapses to a compact footprint without needing tools or special knowledge, which matters when you're at a marina or campsite and just want to get going.
The Curve D3 runs a straightforward 3-speed drivetrain, which keeps things simple and easy to maintain. V-brakes handle stopping duties reliably, and the smaller wheels make the bike quick to respond in tight spaces, though you'll need to work a bit harder to maintain speed on longer flat sections. The red aluminium frame has picked up some marks over time, but this doesn't affect how it rides—it's in full working order and ready to use.
This bike suits anyone who cycles occasionally rather than daily, and those who need maximum portability without sacrificing a proper ride. The small wheels and modest gearing mean it's most at home on short trips around a holiday location or local area rather than long distances. If you're after a no-fuss folder that doesn't take up much space and doesn't demand constant attention, the Curve D3 delivers exactly that.
