Just browsing randomly. Any models to recommend?

I see I see. There are really no good Dahon?

i guess i will have to drop by USJCycles and see. Any recommended sellers for Dahon?

the chinese brands fit for mass market. And it's good for entry level. These days i see kids even riding Dahon here where i live. Cause they are more affordable. Not everyone wants to spend 3K - 5K on a bicycle.

I probably won't scout so much lah. For me warranty and convenience and reliability are my main concerns when i purchase things. So im looking at brands that are already pre-made like Dahon or Tern. Cause they are reputable and have authorised dealers. The rest mix & match sets like Fnhon and etc, i am not experts so im afraid that i might get conned by people spinning spinning spinning.

just FYI, all those bicycle shop (tern dealers) that i contacted before, they all sent the same messages to me today. Tern's stocks are in already. xD

I know now USJCycles have stocks, just came in. But their prices are really high.

Both shops notify me that the Tern is in stock now.
Kimbell Jaya did notify me that there’s a shipment coming in for Tern, so I guess all of them receive their stocks now.
I’m still considering to get it or not. XD

wow where did you cycle to? Do you cycle alone?

I just got my Tern D9. Very happy with it.

It's also good for my mom who is in her 60s. She enjoys it very much cause it's lightweight compared to the big and heavy MTB.
Im glad that she could exercise more also.

dont know wor. got a simpler video?

By the way what kinda bag is the best ya for folding bike?

oh no la. not the carry on bag. more like the bag to put on the bike while you are cycling to carry some of your stuffs like wallets and all.


also, does anyone use side mirrors for your bicycle?

The other day i woke up at 7am to ride around my house. super nice cause there were no cars! the only people i needed to be careful of are those road bikers. xD of course they are much faster but they always zoom past from my right side so sometimes i didn't see. almost swirled into one.

i realise cycling is so fun when you remove the stress from the traffic. Good for yourself and the vehicle drivers also. xD So wake up early!

hey all, wanna check ah. Let's say in the future i need to change my Tern's wheels. Can i visit any shops to replace new 451 wheels or i need to go back to Tern dealers?

with 3K you actually have a lot of choices.

I just picked up a new Tern D9 2 weeks ago. Because well, like some other forumer mentioned here, it's better to just go for the best one instead of wasting money later to either repair, or get a cheap one only to find yourself spending more money to upgrade later.

When i was in the shop, I did speak with the shopkeeper and got to check out the other brands. True enough, brands like Dahon, Tern (didn't check out Bromptom cause they don't have), or the higher tiered TRZ (about RM2K+) their joints, body, overall frame feel sturdier. It somehow feels like they are less likely to break down or wobble or something like that. I reckon that's the most important part of the folding bike because if the joints break or are just plain fragile, i don't think you will enjoy your ride.

So imho going for Dahon, Tern won't be wrong. Brompton is more expensive i think? Like much much more.

I did see some people selling Tern D9 about 1-2 months old for RM3K only. Something to consider.

I think some Dahon models or Tern B7 or something are selling for about RM2K or so as well.

Wow the price for Brompton really double the price of Tern. What makes it so special?

Wow how many bikes you have la?


By the way I wanna ask ah, when I change gear, some gear doesn’t seem to ‘latch”’, like I can pedal one cycle two cycle and the third cycle it’s like the gear doesn’t catch (no resistance) or that it skips? I don’t know how to explain but I have to adjust the gear either up or down. Or is it stuck in like half gear (like 3.5 instead of 3) that’s why it works like this? I don’t know. I don’t think its supposed to work like this?

sorry noob here, what do you mean by internal hub? external gear?
it's the gear lo....

i guess i will send to them and check back and see.

Hey guys, for the default tern pedals. Do they lock the cycling shoes or I need to change them? Thinking to invest in one so that I can ride better also

I see, thanks! I guess i will try with some brandless one to see if it makes a difference.

i'm recording about an average 20KM/HR on my default tern D9. Are there anything that i can do to go faster?

Cadence sensor sounds expensive.
