I bought the Moon X Power 780 for RM180 this afternoon for my wife. It's bright enough with USB charging facility or mains charging. A single charge can last an hour at fullpower but off course you can switch to 3 power modes when the surrounding is bright enough. I have compared it with the 1200 lumens (RM130)  and the twin bulb (RM200)  both unit with 8800 maH batteries  but it seems the Moon's 780 lumens is more intense!  nod.gif  Furthermore, the 8800mA/H batteries can last for 80 minutes compared to the Moon's 60 minutes but the Moon's is built in and not a separate unit. So, opted for it, I think I can use twice as long with using 50 percent power most of the time and switch on at full power only when needed.

With suspension if possible. Budget is around 2-3k, and as I know almost nothing about bike, I would need good and friendly after sale support for the bike.

It seems people here like Dahon Speed P8, Tern Link D8, P9, KHS F20-T3, which do u think will suit me better? Or any others?

Thanks in advance! Enjoy riding the weekend ahead!

Yun, that shop in the background is ThaiSun which is in Thailand, I think. Incidently Thailand has more choices of mini velo and foldie parts and components. even Singapore too because we Malaysian are slow to catch on. Majority here still prefers mountain bikes.

quite expensive including de shiping

Hi all,
I'm interested to know why you own a folding bike? Lack of storage space? Cute to look at or be looked at? Fun to ride?
Some of you have plans to ride big distances or tackle big hills, so I'm curious why you would want a foldie? For the same price of a high end foldie, I can get a carbon framed racer that would eat distances and climb hills, so why a foldie?

For me, it is portability and practicality. Distances and hills, the foldie stays home.

What about you?
*
my main reason is bikos can bring into ktm komuter to commute to work evriday (wic is in other word; just like u; portability and practicality sweat.gif hehe)
other than that everiting i did is all de "side effect" of already having a bike
hehe
touring , "mtb"ing sweat.gif , leisure cycling , exercising , makan2 cycling , social cycling , suka2 cycling , boring2 cycling
can ony afford a bike so dis ony bike is for everiting (road, offroad, hills, distance)
hence de "cyclocross" setup
haizzz so kesian
hehe
cheers

mbax nice trip!
hopefully nex month i can aply some leave n go litle bit touring too tongue.gif

my helmet is white bern g2
i bought it cuz of its look n at dat time kinda hard to find any
it looks kinda fun n leisure rather than making me looks like a serious cyclist
not a fan of "tajam2" helmet tongue.gif
hehe

n cuz it has some fancy reflector it kinda a plus point for me when riding home at night tongue.gif

if ony for protection i tink any helmets will do
i tink the styling is kinda like a statement of what kind of cycling u do
the more protection looking helmet i tink is for downhill or serious offroading
dat bell leader is very nice looking
but kinda expensive for leisure rider like me
i tink those who bought nutcase is for their looks rather than aniting
hehe

cheers

my helmet
