Saw this at ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Solar-Power-re...t-/181323309633

at night use another torchlight to charge?

not really bro ... V2 was started back in August i believe ... its just that we getting more people interedted in foldies ...

LOL

i believe got battery to store the energy
but with that price
wonder how long the energy can be store

the best lighting are still those using normal battery..
I used 2 cateye on both my bike.. if halfway run out of power..can still buy at any 7/11 or mamak stalls..
I used to use those rechargeable creek lighting..but always forgot to charge..

ohh.. I strongly recommend install an air horn on your bike..very useful..
even my mtb I also installed 1..

thanks for tips...

Imduno about others but i only lube when i sees the chain is dry. And qith my current riding pattern, it would be quite some time between lubing.

Chain dry is better than wet.

When it is wet, you can see the light reflection. It makes me feel uneasy because it is OIL there..

When it is dry, i like it. But the chair looks blackie because of the lube dried and deposited like solid as the sand/dust stick to it. So eventually i become uneasy as well.

While cycling, it is easy to notice the chain rubbing the teeths sound. That is how i gauge when to lube. I have yet to lube my chain with proper lube (using singer oil all this while)

So, i bought this for Rm50. Before using it, i need to clean my chain first, might as well give a SPA to my UGO too. Dishwasher liquid is ready. Just need a time and little bit of effort/discipline to move my butt to clean. Hahaha.

any1 have problem using lowyat app to attach photo..
can't post anything..

R.N.Samy bicycle shop seems pretty good with lots of selections.
The Raleigh UGO is Rm750.00
Friendly service
I found USJ bicycle shop to be quite expensive, rude and arrogant when i went there and the owner spoke as if i was a little kid, you know like he was ta;king down on me rather then answering my simple questions.
The Raleigh UGO was Rm920.00 nett there, but what really made me angry was his attitude, and i told him off in a very firm manner , which he sort of went off as i told him, he should do his homework 1st before talking crap.

Opinion needed.
I have a l MTB and am looking for a reasonable Folding Bike...
Raleigh UGO..Rm750.00
Or better ..my budget is around 1.5K maximum..dont want to spend too much, although i can afford it as i also jog , swim and work out at the GYM.
Any suggestions plse ??
Thanks

Hi,
Perhaps your the photo you want to upload is too big in size, may i suggest you upload a smaller photo.
Cheers

try host it at photobucket n see

i also looking for foldie now. i already got mtb and looking for one bike i can bring along easily

went to look for raliegh ugo (750) n trinx fa208 (850). can feel that ugo built quality is alot better
too bad ugo come with 7 speed... so now still considering

Thanks,
I forgot to mention that i have tested a VOLCANO Folding bike, 21 speed bike at Taman Melawati yesterday which was for Rm850.00,but since i never heard of VOLCANO bike before , i walked away , but i am still open to opinions, if anyone cares to share his/her experience on this.
many say the UGO seems better , i may spend slightly more to get a better folding bike as i believe its money well invested , but i need experienced forum members help here in what may be a better bike and where i can get it at..my budget is 1.5K
Anyone , thanks...

If you can tolerate the squeaky metal sound that comes from folding part of stem post in UGO, then you can get it.

Brake pad may give some loud sound when u brake. It is annoying but it is good to let people know your presence when you brake or sudden brake.

At first, i was thinking to get AirZound (horn like LORRY) but i think my brake pads works the same. LOL.
