Hi all - i'm looking for a folding bike as well, plan to pick up cycling to keep fit , my budget around RM 3k.

After google around, seems like Brompton is high recommended. However when i ask around, seems like it is out of stock and the waiting list is very long. So want to get this also hard, i need to move to next option.

So i need some advice, since Brompton is the best #1, what is the #2 or #3 brand to consider? The most important criteria for me is easy to fold and not too heavy, i'm just a small girl with 48kg.

I tried to read most of the recent posts as well, Tern, Dahon and Pikes was mentioned alot - any specific model that u can recommend me?

thanks so much!

happy weekend everyone!

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?

errr.. just enough la

internal hub? or external gear?

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

if ur using normal gearing, then u need to tune ur rd. maybe the cable a bit stretch out.

if ur using internal hub gearing, need to adjust the clutch chain

both need some tuning only

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

They don't. If you want to invest in clipless pedals, you can choose either roadbike or mountain bike type.

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

Get an offer on this folding bike for rm1k. Is this good for beginner?

There's no such thing as best #1, #2 & so on. When it comes to bicycle, it's always a balance between your budget & what you want. 3K will definitely not land you any Brompton but then again, if you're cycling to keep fit, I don't see how Brompton can be any better than the rest.
