Hi everyone, I am looking for a speedy foldies to commute to office. Distance around 15-17km one way.

Is it worth it to splurge on Tern X11? Or is there comparable and more affordable foldies?

When i google, Alcott Z1 also came out but review are not plenty. Would like to hear from all of you.

Thanks.

If it's just for commute, might as well get the cheaper variant instead? Also you gotta ask yourself if you really need a foldie since most offices in Malaysia have no space for a bicycle indoor.

I used to cycle to work 15KM away on Tern Verge D9. Works great but since I'm not allowed to bring it indoor, I see no purpose of having a foldie so now I use a fixed gear instead. It's cheaper than the folide, I don't mind leaving it outdoor & doesn't need to worry about someone touching it or stealing it.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed reading this thread, maybe because this thread is meant for serious folding bikers.

But if you all could help me giving some pointers, as I intend to get a simple folding bike for commute, one that is meant for just that.
A simple, no-plans-to-upgrade set-ups, cheap, but one that provides at least some level of comfort/safety.

I am looking at this two items:

1-
https://shopee.com.my/READY-STOCK-%F0%9F%94...33-91db8364ee13

2-
https://shopee.com.my/%F0%9F%94%A5Ready-Sto...4f-3b8c897f56e7
And if boleh, elaborate a bit why so. This would help me so much in deciding which one to get.
This may be a tough ask, but hopefully you all can help me out.

Oh I was in my car at that time, but I'll keep that in mind if I ever stumble upon them again tongue.gif That being said, is there any groups on socmed that organise ride like this from time to time?

normally they know each other for quite some times, so they will have their own whatsapp/telegram group.

so just approach them directly will do.

Any folding bike light enough to be carried in MRT? Usage like cycle 2 km to MRT station then carry it in MRT, then cycle again to office like 500m?

If you are planning to use MRT I suggest get one with an optional luggage like this:

Yes, it is reliable. Don't go any cheaper than around 500 range.

I understand the luggage maybe is for flight travel to a destination. But if take into LRT/MRT, once reach the destination station and pull out the foldie to cycle to work/office, where to keep or hang the luggage ? hmm.gif

I am still using the Ikea Dimpa bag, as it is foldable.

carry bike isn't practical.

get something light and pushable like aceoffix.

Make a custom strap and carry it like a backpack. There is also a better practical option of getting a Trigo foldable travel luggage for Brompton.
