You should invest in a good bag and pop your 12.5" bike in and carry it like a normal bag. don't think they can say anything to stop you from LRT. You can try a 14" foldie--http://www.mudah.my/14Inc+CLASSIC+Folding+Bike+Bicycle-14196830.htm

Some feedback required..

Tern Verge P18 RM3820
Dahon Dash P18 RM2560 (after 5% discount)
Looking at their difference in Japan (Y126K vs Y100K), the Dahon seems to be a better buy here, right ?
Putting aside Japan, also assuming that Verge would not have a RM1.3K premium over Dash ?
Better to go to Rodalink or Lerun resellers such as KSH SS2 (I stay nearby) for this ?
Should I change this immediately if I buy the Dash ?

Depends... I'll go for the Dash P18... great performance bike, the diamond frame makes the bike stiffer and handles well, can pull on it whilst going up hill, feels like a 'normal' size bike. Drawback is the folded size is bigger and less compact. Not sure if a smaller folded size portability is what you want.

I have not tried the Verge P18, but i have other single bar folding bikes, I ride it tall and high, so the longer seat and handlebar stem introduces more flex to the ride. The feel is slight different. I am not sure if the Verge can be as stiff as the Dash. But folded size is more compact and easier fits in a carry bag.

I will go for the Dash if portability and folded size is not a high priority. Try resellers like FBT or GW, may get better price... but stock of the Dash is limited and you have to 'search' for it esp L frame.

Best if you can 'test' ride before you decide.

i think this bike is " license " by dahon made for chinese domestic market, for this price more expensive than dash p18,  and the parts are nowhere the same  as dash p18, if u look carefully......  biggrin.gif

Its Dahon China or CDM models, the handle bars are unique. I believe you will need to negotiate heavily with the seller. Unless you don't mind the asking price.
Now that Tern and Dahon split, its all Dahon China.

I'm still looking for a suitable carry on cover for my dash p 18. Did you manage to find one?

Wanna buy folding bike. 

Which one is better?  Dahon Eco C7 vs Raleigh Ugo vs XDS AFB 958?

Please help.

sound like cheaper one will do, Raleigh Ugo was told can get Rm699 if you know where to look, XDS maybe rm900. Eco c7 there a promotion this weekend at Midvalley for Maybank Card Treats Fair.

riding with kids around neighborhood and convenient to put in car to bring to park - think all above is more than suitable.

Enjoy the ride smile.gif

Thanks for your reply. Raleigh Ugo is cheaper by around Rm200 while Dahon Eco C7 and XDS is about the same price.  Dahon seems to be the best brand when it comes to folding bike, but how is the quality of the Eco C7 as it is the entry level model. What I like about the Dahon Eco C7 is that it fold fast and end up really small.  XDS AFB958 on offers rear suspension and Alloy Rear Rack which is pretty attractive. 

Anyway, which has the best built quality?  Which has the best features?

Looks like you are leaning toward the dahon. You will not go wrong with it. Go for it.

guys,
i do not know which one to choose... between the two bikes...
Dahon Dash P18 vs Tern P9
price wise very close and differs by about rm100...

i like riding it fast... both seem to be fast foldies...

dash P18 has solid frame 7005 alloy
tern P9 has good hinges and portability

i don't really mind the size as i keep the bike in store room and my car should be no problem bringing these 2 bikes around...

pls help... thanks

if folded size & portability is not an issue, the Dash P18 has more gears for steep hills, and the double arced frame makes it stiffer for a faster ride. If speed is what you want then you should consider the P18. The Tern is a sweet bike tho I have not rode it before.

Try to test ride both. But ultimately the speed depends on the riders legs...
