where will you purchase. i'm also looking for get started but still have no idea where to buy the bike

Just bought a Dr.Hon Boardwalk D8 from Sew Leong Dengkil. RM1180.00 with 8 speed. Now transferring all the components from my wife's Eco C7 to the Boardwalk and the Boardwalk's brand new wheelset, handlebar, mudguards, cranks, seatpost and seat, reflectors, pedals, V-brakes, brake levers to the Dahon Eco C7. The shitty green colour gear shifters are really louyah! I installed a SRAM twister onto the Eco C7 and also I put in a sealed bearing bottom bracket (I have extra and the cone bearing bottom bracket is also louyah). Also I mounted the Shimano Tourney RD to the ECO as the Boardwalk have no RD hanger and have to use the Neos.

My wife is just itchy to get a new bike and also she like the more feminine looking Boardwalk. So, anyone interested in the Eco C7 which is mounted with all the new stuffs and also upgraded to 8 speed!

And what are you asking for the c7? Pm me.

install some mud guard, that thing really helps in keeping the bike n ur clothes clean

i like original SKS mud guard from dahon, matches the bike very well

when r u gonna ride again?

planning to ride from paya terubong this sat evening

component-wise louis garneau n the raleigh might have an upperhand but for a better fold, dahon seems superior with its well-thought magnetic clips that hold the bike together when folded

where r u gonna ride? road? pavement?

will u be riding only or combine commuting with car/ktm etc?

Mud? Anyone said mud?
Did a light off road yesterday. It is fun

Attached thumbnail(s)

I'm interested. Pics and price?

Sorry! somebody beat you to it. He's coming today to pick it up.

The Boardwalk transformation is done. There are a few issues. It is actually quite selfish of Dahon to not include the RD hanger and now, I have to hunt for an adapter. The original Neos 8 or 9 for that matter has very short cage and when I modified the triple chainring, the largest chain cannot use the last low gear and if I lengthen the chain, the granny chainring cannot use the last 3 high gear as the chain sags and get stuck in the last cog againts the body and jams up the RD. Now I know the reason why the RDs on the multi chainrings of the new Dr.Hon Dash P18 and the Dr. Visc P18 breaks. They have since modified their RDs but I think it's still a lousy Neo RD. Adapters and Shimano RDs are the way to go.

Other than the issues above, the Dr.Hon Boardwalk is actually a nice ride. Only drawback is the lady like looking frame. Hahaha It actually shares the same geometry and same metal with the Dahon Speed P8 and the ride is almost identical. The Speed's maintube is bigger, that's all and also the biggest difference is off course the Speed P8 has a hanger for REAL rear derailleurs. I would recommend the Boardwalk for ladies. It's easy to ride but it's ideal to have double chainring and also a better shifter and RD. The Boardwalk plus another few hundred bucks for the upgrades makes a really good bike.

The new green shifters are also sh*t stuff. I took it apart and had a look at it. Even the cheaper Microshift shifters are way ahead of it. It's so bad that I even installed an old SRAM unit onto the old bike and I refuse to use the shifter.

But those unusable combinations are those not used anyway, so, have to bear with it until the adapter is found.

Wow, I didn't know that Bukit Cahaya is this nice!

This is worth exploring as the roads are going to give you a lot of exercise!

Really must explore if you have a foldable bike.

Just put in your car boot, park car in the Taman car park. Take out bike and cycle.

Put on hat / helmet. Bring lots of water.
Pack some nasi lemak / sandwiches and have a picnic in the park.
This is so enjoyable !

Advantage of cycling over walking or jogging is that you don't have to walk the miles and miles. If the hill is too steep, no choice, just get down and push lor. But you get to see more places in a shorter time...

One more thing is that if you jog, you will be putting a lot of up and down impact on your joints, especially the knees. If you are overweight, like 90kg, imagine how much force that will add up to on your joints, if you jog 1 km. No wonder my knees have been giving me problems over the last few years! While if you cycle, you are basically sitting down and just provide a circular motion with your legs... no impact at all! Just don't strain too hard when cycling.


Isn't cycling cool or what?

wow ur tires look really nice!

nice mod!

i've been wanting to add a double chainring for a while on my D7 but needa know the rough estimation for it

I'd need the litepro FD adapter, a FD as well as the shifter, anything else that i overlook?

what's the biggest/smallest chainring combo available?

wanna spend just minimum amount for this mod

anyone wanto have a Friday night ride tonight ??

Like new orange colour tyre kan? Haha
Even the brake caliper also cannot be seen.

having these problems.....?

Butt & crotch pain or numbness.

Wrist & hand problems i.e. pain, nerve trauma, Carpal tunnel syndrome.

Neck, shoulder & and back pain & pinched nerves.

Male impotence and/or prostate enlargement

Recumbent anyone?

like dopperganger bike!

how was the braking power with all those mud??

Still brakeable but when u r on flat wet muddy ride, brake is unimportant anymore. U brake u skids
Jes have to hang on the motion.

Hi guys,

I am letting go my current foldie (immaculate condition) to fund another project

Interested, pls contact me. Thx

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=11&t=2950114

The cheapest I have mod before for a friend is RM90 for a Prowell crank (dual chainring) , Microshift 3x8 speed shifter RM120, Microshift FD (her bike has a 34.9 mm seat tube, so no need FD adpater) , RM90 and some cables and housing + cable ties RM20, so total RM320. But if you need FD adapter, add another RM80, no need to be Litepro lah! Advantage is the adapter has a cable router! If you don't have, you need to modify a cable router to pull the FD.

so all-in-all needs around rm400+/-

what r the prowell crank tooth sizes?

n also, my bike on has 7 speed only.. rm120 for both right n left shifter right? trigger or gripshift?

n i found the litepro selling for rm55 or smthg, fake wan i guess?

i bought my bicycle. looking forward to join you guys cycle around. but need slow slow lo
