I have both the Brompton and Pikes Gen 2, and still prefer my Pikes Gen 2. Value for money and just need to make some upgrades such as tires, seatpost, pedals, and saddle.
Great review bro. Like ur straightforwardness n simple review. Hope u will gain more subscriber. Any chance that u might doin a review on the Aceoffic foldng bike?
*Only reason I didn't get the Brompton is because I like hydraulic disc brakes and Brompton doesn't support them. There's an aftermarket disc brake kit for this bike but it costs around $1500 and you have the replace the forks and rear triangle. I'm satisfied with my $400 Trek foldie that I've updraded to Shimano DURACE.*
Pikes gen4 costs around SDG $950 in Singapore. Is it worth ? It comes with M or S bar. I thought of getting one. Not sure whether suitable for kid around 1.3 m height ?
My experience after 3 months with Pikes 1. Immediate upgrade to rear suspension, seatpost and pedal. Since the owner of the bike is overweight, the upgrading is essential to ensure for smooth riding 2. Not all part of the bike is fix to the Pikes. Although the Pikes almost similar to the Brompton,it doesn't mean you can't plug and play the same part or accessories. For instance, you may buy aceoffix rear derailleur specially designated for Brompton but somehow to scrap off a bit before you mount into the bike nicely. 3. Gear shifting - the most common issue that I listened and experiencing as Pike user is external shifter. You have to check with cabling system once your bike is unfolded and before you begin to ride. Anyhow, I still love the bike and hope to buy another one soon in the future..

Foldie with dura ace?! That’s mad setup!
Whether riding through gravel cause any problem with tyres..?
Oval Chain ring... What is this? Not exactly round... Any body affirm what i observe here.
It’s chainring spec that says to increase pedal efficiency. I’m haven’t try myself personally so I have no comment for this

I will suggest for a test ride at the bike shop if you can access. As I’m not sure if it fit 1.3m teen
@@HengChooChian thanks. Yes, best to bring my grandson along to try on. Also let him try the fnhon gust, probably easier for him to handle.
Which would be your preference foldable bikes comparing between Pikes & Fnhon Gust? Which one you prefer more and why? Thks.
Personally I prefer Gust as the gear system and maintenance are much more straight forward
@@HengChooChian thank you for your reply and sharing. 😀

Good to know that! thanks for sharing!
什么都换了还不如买一个小步直接到位啊！
Nice video, as always. 👍🏻
Thanks again!
would be nice you could review a dahon curl if you get a chance
Will do if I ever got a chance!
whats the difference of pikes and camp royale?
It look like same thing for me. My guess will be different product name based on region
Keep it up bro
Thankss!
How to paddle when start which gear , little bromie
The Brompton internal gear hub will need to stop peddling when you are shifting which is a uncommon way compare to derailleur setup
@@HengChooChian thanks
Is it the same Pikes in Indonesia from Element Factory?
Yeappp it’s the same
What is the diff between Pikes and Paikesi?
To be frank I’m not too sure. But it seems like paikesi come with even value for money package.
From what I know both are same just that Paikesi is for indonesia market and Pikes is for Taiwan or other countries.
How does it ride?
Very upright and surprisingly stable. Probably due to the long wheelbase
nice heng
