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... icon_question.gif

i know about the site... guys in the cycling thread posted it and i gone through one of the shop. it is at kajang area.

yes, leisure rides. i have thought about long distance riding as well, but not keen to spend too much for a bike like road bikes.

If mobility is not an issue for u, consider tourings/hybrids. Rm1k can get a basic one liao. I was looking at touring/hybrid until my wife reminded me that a foldie can be stored easily.

Foldie not that slow , but since foldie has limitations like bigger wheels, upgrade , etc.
I guess Foldie means easy to carry, easy to store, but a good one is not cheap.

What i mean with mobility is being able to carry your bike to go somewhere else to ride. With foldie, i can just fold it up, put it at the car backseat and just drive to anywhere to ride. I can also take trains/lrt. Store in bag can masuk bas or naik aeroplane. With a full sized bicycle, i need to invest in a rack. Plus i cant take public transport with it. I wanted to go sightseeing and travel on bicycle but i cant cyle long and far. Hece bring a bicycle to a destination and ride short short there.

Thats why i was looking nt touring/hybrid, in the end settled for a foldie. Exercise, is one of the reason too.

Agreed...foldie is really convenient...it is light..feel not so "bulky"...I feel it easier to handle compare to other full size bike...

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..

How much is the air horn?

Depends on which foldie.. most are not 'light' 12+-kg.
A big wheel bike feels much more stable n less bumpy than small wheeler...
