Newbie here. Used to ride RB with my friends long long time ago, I don't own any bikes with me anymore. Nowadays usually just rent those linkbike in Penang RM3/day, it is a ok bike to ride around, nothing hard core, but these bikes are getting a lot of abuse and it seems like the vendor aren't maintaining it properly.

Last month we won a folding bike in a lucky draw. Even before I rode it, I knew it is some cheap brand and it proves me right after riding it around my taman. I had to tighten and adjust all the bolts and nuts. I let my gf ride it since she is much lighter than I do, but she also mentioned that the bike is so wobbly and unsafe. So I sold it off soon after. The fb is Treking and only cost around RM350.
The best thing about it is being so portable that if fits in our car and enables us to drive to our desired destination to start our riding journey.

I've been reading and watching some youtube videoes on fb, and had set my own budget of below RM1.5k as a starting point (so that I can upgrade to a better fb and appreciate it in the future)
I would love to get a second hand fb if that is possible. My question is, is it a good idea to get a 2nd hand fb as I don't see many people talking about 2nd hand fb, and if so, what are the best options within RM1.5k and what to look out for. TIA

Not too sure about this seller. I recommend looking ar ep folding bike kota damansara or overbike store damansara damai. Got good service from both shop.
