abit susah liddat..... dun have a lot of folding bike in the msia market....

so far Dahon offers the widest range in Malaysia.
i think most important is how much are you willing to spend?

the dahon speed p8 is pretty good to start with, it is versatile n robust,
u can mod it, fit it with racks for touring, looks good,
this is a modded version.



Dahon is popular in japan, the new 2012 Speed P8, there are 5 colours there,
this colour looks really nice

bro, slow depends on how fast u cycle mah.
u cycle fast it moves faster la.. ;D
the crank, i think is 53T?
biggest they put is 55T, wan bigger have to custom,
u wan fast u mean u want it lighter, skinny tyre? better parts?
then get the X10 lor. or u wait for Tern bike, see got model ngam u ornot.

The Dahon vector series have been discontinued i think,
maybe they choose not to compete with Tern, cos Tern comes out with Verge series
is almost the same as Vector.

So if u can get Vector in Msia, better grab it, very likely Tern bikes will be more
expensive.

Prices of low to middle models of Dahon in Msia is much lower than overseas this year,
if u do a direct conversion frm prices in SG, Japan, Taiwan n USA.

the vector X10 is 186.900 yen

hello,
no i'm not from penang, i'm frm KL.
those fotos were taken by Mr Sam, he is an avid folding bike rider who owns like 6 dahon folding bike.
u can check him out on his blog samosaurus.

from his info, he mentioned those Dahon on display are from "Chin Aik Kedai Basikal" u noe which shop is this?
Lerun is the distributor of Dahon, if u can find bike shop tht sell lerun or polygon, then ask them if they can get Dahon,
there are many dahon owners in PG, from the pics i've seen.

here are the list of Lerun distributors, chin aik is in Carnavon street.

anyway, this shows that u can have fun on any bikes,
the fold is just a function, don't try to make it like it is a special class.

Added on October 31, 2011, 9:36 pmwonder if u crash a strida into something, of kena bang frm behind,
will ur groin crash into the bar n crack ur nut ?

Added on October 31, 2011, 9:49 pmjust regularly browse the foldie, forum, sometimes samo will organize something, i saw ur nick there

mostly cyclist likes to go to hulu langat, genting sempah, mcD there duno cycle where around the hills,
FBT group oso got go for rides, u can join them in FB to get infos.

for beginners if u don't mind go to putrajaya, it is a good n safe place to cycle away from traffic.
esp if u wana take ur family along, wife n kids,
or just to check ur fitness before goin for tougher hills.

tht place is really under utilised, n if u curse cos ur tax money being used to built it,
it is time tht u go there to use the place.
for family joy ride, park ur car at the monument alaf baru, there are some shade,
n oso there are free toilet just next to the car park,
dun go n park near the masjid there, lotsa bus n tourist n no shade.

frm there u can just cycle round the lake using the bike n jogging path,
look at the houses of the civil servants, n look at the PM's palace,
let of stim abit by @%^&* at the useless bridges,
1 round is about 10km ++ just nice for beginners, n family. all flat flat.
