for me, i pedal like mad wit tongkat, then remove
it, can straight pedal n balance oredi.... haha

i rmember, the tranin wheels u can angle it up accordin to the kids level, so it doesnt hve to solidly touch the ground all the time, tht way can learn to balance n oso wont pokai....

guys, been reading thru this forum for while and decided to get a foldies for the wifey but still unable to decide, went to shop around pg island and got recommendation on several brand, i.e. dahon, oyama and most affordable raleigh uno.. currently leaning towards oyama a taiwan brand (but shop claim it was from japan) the fitting lok goods but not really sure abt the body quality and raleigh for the price and upgrade that i can do for the budget balance.. dahon came in last due to the price... the question is anybody got experience with oyama before?

quality = $$$
for wifey Raleigh UGO will do enough... best bang for buck!

neva tried oyama before but i have a XDS foldie A8, pretty decent and rides pretty well... body quality for most bikes u mentioned should be fine... the thing that separates between a good foldie is how their fold mechanism is designed

if they patented their fold mechanism, its gotta be very good and well proven.
example on Tern, Dahon (Lock-jaw), Brompton, etc

hello, i just got eco c7. im very new. i just sent my bike to nearby bike shop for gear tune. however my bike at gear 7 is not very smooth... can hear mild sound at the rear weel...is it common? or shud it be 100% smooth with no sound? thank you.

thanks ora_ito, might get the Eco C7 then, as hard to find info abt oyama, summore price is lower.

Sorry to bring up old post. Found this post from Google.

Wanna ask you guys opinion...Is this LitePro Kinetic any good?

Bearing better/Lower rolling resistant?

I know is lighter but not that much so it's not my concern.

another question, is it possible to add front derailuer for eco 7?

y don't just buy a bike that has the spec you wan?
will save time n hassle to mod here n there..

nice..
the litepro from jb or sg?

from CHINA hahaha
i added more pics in previous post...

crankset from UK (made in taiwan)

u ordered from china or how??

order from china, i got agent to liase logistics from china to singapore/msia...

seller in china is bike shop or those like taobao??

use toabao better... more sellers, more competitive prices...
some are bike shop owners i believe
they also owe up to their reputation so they will deliver quality products

yea, some seller in taobao are bike shops..

got member ask bout the performance of litepro, bearing smoother? etc.....

here's my review on the litepro rims + kojak tire...

did 28km ride yesterday with my P9
feels easier to get to 9th gear and much lesser resistance (air/road)
with the kojak tires, u really can push and it will just keep going faster n faster
not so bumpy ride, still in comfort zone comparing to stock rims/tire

the Litepro hub performance is really good, very very smooth and almost frictionless
the rear hub also has a nice sound when u cruise the bike

i would say much better than kinetic comp wheelset

gonna get another one for my Silvertip

went to the shop, compared few bike, eco c7, boardwalk d7, oscar, polygon owh and mup8.. almost end up with boardwalk but it did not come with the back rack so in the end really go for eco7 for the look.. and almost get killed by the home miister due to wanting to get the mu p8... also she cant understand why got to spend so much for a foldie, even my mtb also cost less... but after have a round with it then she understand and forget abt the oscar & polygon which is not even half the price...

dahon built quality is better? if u compare with poligon...
