Anyone paratrooper or paratrooper pro user here?

Hummer got a lot!
same same la... haha...

Easier said than done.

I tried, its not easy at all. Not all chinese words are translated, and I don't see "agent" or "service noticeboard".

There's already risks involved when buying it online, the risk is even higher when you're buying online in a language you don't understand.

u ask mike how much this bike cost la.. haha...

he can assemble for u...

i think won't be cheap...



for those who noe how to taobao, can just order the ramuan n DIY.....

so far i buy from taobao ok je.....problem is chatting with the seller only if dunno chinese like me
just get the link and send to agent from service noticeboard i think they can settle it for you

i think you misunderstood, agent and service noticeboard is in LYN here

yup agree, i dont read chinese but still odering from taobao...

Haha, you're right, I totally misunderstood. Now it makes more sense.

But I've searched for Dahon Curve D7 in taobao, no results.

Its RM2388, stated in the facebook post.



I can't find any information on the frame online. Is it a good frame?

curve d7 should be bullet d7 (KAC072) in china... but i might be wrong.
FNhon is China answer to Dahon...

bullet is straight wor...
curve is curve wan leh..

dahon in china got many variations n model..

one thing for sure all china models are better looking ( probably better spec-ed)
than international models

the boon looks like curve with vice grip, but the design is a bit different...
left side missing the seat stay...



price is bout RMB 1260

now this Arc S9 is like a curve with alu frame n better components

bout 3600 RMB



or wait for this jifo/eez with some gears n rd....

one thing is...

all the other foldies in china can copy the design of dahon frame..

but they will not dare to copy n use the dahon patented locking mechanism.

the vice-grip lock.. i think u can never find a non cap dahon foldie with this lock..

complete spare parts available for RMB 88...

silver n gold kaler...

signed by bapak hon ....









frame with disc mount ready...

kekeke look at dahon china site got curve d3 only PA632 then in taobao got variation of PA654, PA694 (curve sl) and so on.. now self poison again...



dang disc brake ready summore...

newbie question. I have Dahon and Java fit, both on 20 inch. As advice by all, it is best to have spare tubes around for emergency cases. My question is, does all 20 inch tubes fits all types of 20 inch tyre? Unlike Tyre, how many types of tubes out there? OR can I just buy any tube for emergency? Thanks.

TQ TQ TQ!


I know I have to decide this on my own, but which seller would you guys buy from, and how did you decide?

the agent's shipping warehouse will most likely be in GuangDOng province. ( u have to ask them the loc)

so first have to find seller in the same province to reduce domestic shipping charges.

then look for the seller that offers the best price n sells the most bikes.

so i have found this double crown seller,

he din put arc s9, but got arc D7, u can ask him whether he can get the arc S9 and the price.

The seat post like most baget foldies, ( tis 27.x mm ) ? is very susah to lower , u nid to like zigzag push or pull, so make sure u can live with tis...

thanks bro for the info, meaning the seat post is super tight? tight good ma, at least its assuring it would move when riding

okiee got it, will go check out and see

Ask the seller? that's gonna be a challenge for me.

Looks like there's not many seller in Taobao selling Dahon Arc S9. Everyone is selling Dahon Dove.

This is taking too much of my time. I feel like just taking the plunge and buy from a 3 hearts seller.
