Saw an advertisement in mudah.com

Im going to purchase a unit soon. 1st timer use folding bike too....

i ve just bought the Dahon Vigor p8...there is also the VISC P18 u can take a look ..very light.

Woh, i love this VISC P18~!!! how much u got ur Vigor P8? where you buy? how much the VISC P18? thx

Local visc p18 watered down dy. Very sad.
The china n japan version much better.

Got fler selling 2nd hand at bbs.

Well it's still 18 speed compared to the vigor which is 9 speed...but it is damn light..still.

about 2.2k

Hi, sorry, i'm a bit not understand, what does that mean? thx

hmm 2.2K..out of my budget

In china japan VISC call obi wan , the body frame is 7005 aluminium alloy , Ubi wan spec is more better than VISC and price also cheap than here .

Hmm icic, thx for the info, wandering anyone buy bike from TAOBAO ?

mine one on the way from china

U buy which model? How much ur deliver fee

KAC072 AND KAA084 , shipment fee will let u know when arrival , around rm100 - rm200 , i shipment thousand LED down light before and only rm300+ i pay for

RM100-200 seem fine to me, love the Dahon Obi Wan, but duno which seller selling Original, duno got fake or not

Was told by the TaoBao agent that shipping goes by weight. Be interesting to see if the weight of a thousand LEDs would be similar to a folding bike?

Personally, a foldie is for fun. It will do kms so long as you don't expect constant high speeds. 20-25kph might be ok under perfect conditions, ie no head wind, not too hot.... If you want higher speed and doing longer distances, you still need big wheel bikes. If space is an issue, then make sure the foldie you buy has decent gears, otherwise you will upgrade, or worse, not ride the bike. If you are buying an 8 or 9 speed one, just make sure it has a larger crank, ie 52t upwards, and a casette at the back with an 11-30 or 34. That will give you adequate range. But if you need to climb hills, then you'll want a second chainring. I've learnt the hard way, my first foldie had 48t at the front and 12-34 at the back, completely useless.....can't climb, can't speed. And it did not have a cassette but a free-wheel
which is very limited in options. If you are un-familiar with some of the terms used here, just google.

I'm still learning, but I'll let you know if what I'm preaching will work for me in a couple of weeks when my bike's ready, lol !!

got 4 bikes already bro

wow a lot things hv to learn, not quite understand also haha, need google it, which bike u using?


Feel like want buy ur bike haha

Almost the 4, pink one is your princess. Must reserve
Then Speed P8 is the lowest spec among the other. Unfortunately I now looking for mini velo, if not will consider your bike. Previously I ride KHS F20T. Need to upgrade.
