weird that I never receive notification of reply...
is mostly on leisure riding around my house area(puchong/putrajaya sometimes), some hike but nothing hill and dust just normal road.
Want to pickup a healthy activity, lazy to jog so I guess cycling can be a good activity right?

the thing is in beta mode... mind the non-functional notifications... it works on and off...
cycling can be a good exercise in terms of it being a bit more interesting than running (you get to look at sceneries and stuff)...but, comparing it to running.. .i have my personal opinions..
1) more parks are opened to runners than cyclists
2) running promotes better bone density from the impact of foot strike
3) running is cheaper...bikes, you have to factor in itchiness to upgrade, maintenance.. running is just shoes and running apparel...
4) cycling in busy city is jus sucking in exhaust fumes (counteracting the healthy workout)
if i were to choose the bike... i say a folding bike in your case... easy portability so you can lug it in your car to any riding grounds... it'll be fun and the foldie community is getting bigger and bigger nowadays...
word of caution though it that folding bikes are getting more expensive nowadays... even a cheap dahon will cost more than RM1.5k easy...
the lerun is not going to be as fun... but it's a beater bike that will serve the purpose of a 2-wheel transportation... you can't say it will give lots of fun.. .but it definitely won't cause you any demise...
double that amount and you can easily get a entry level MTB from a reputable brand... expect something around RM1.2 - RM1.4k if you are not picky...

that lerun not meet your requirements , heavy and no fun riding on tarmac.
Avoid suspension fork based on your requirement.
let's give it some face lar... it is a bike after all.. and if it is just simply to be taken out to go ride rounds in the local park or local mamak stall to tapau teh tarik.. it should be no problem...
biggest point is... "don't have any expectations on it"... if you have... you will have massive disappointments...
it's just a cheap ass bike...
