After cycling half-day at Pulau Ubin, my heart was asking am I making the correct choice (buying manual bicycle)??? It would be great if it come with electric motor to assist in climbing slope. Tried like hell after this day trip.

But how is the bike performing ? If really dont like, sell to me cheaper loh .. hahaha

Love to adopt it. Personally, I still feel manual bike is the best. Even if you keep it for 3 years, it will still work.

For electric bike, most likely dead. And, what if ppl go park connector ? U want to take a risk going into park connectors with electric bike ?

Haven't got the channel to fully used it in out-door yet. 1 thing bad, the zoom system is too fast when you just want a small step.

I noticed that Mutol 7100 changed from JASO MA to MA2, with an API SN label.

Hmm... manual says SW uses API SG or 'higher'.

 

Read this but still a bit blurr on what JASO/API standard to use because the oils have different chemical settings. http://www.motorcycleanchor.com/motorcycle/how_to/mc_oil.html

 

Continue with Mutol (MA2/API SN) or revert back to Maxima (MA/API SG)? Hmm... hmm...

Btw, This new Mutol 7100 didn't turned lighter (throttle response) after 1 week, unlike the previous type. I don't like heavy oils. Lets wait for 1 more week.

[scoobydoo]

hmmm... think superzooms all behave like that cos the others i tried also moves quite snappily.

my guess is, the bigger the zoom the faster the motor moves. else by the time you zoom in from 1 ~ 50x, http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Animals/hummingbird.gif also fly away liow

 

have checked around for prices... best prices from ebay

sony HX50V: S$505

pana TZ40/ZS30: S$434

pana TZ30/ZS20: $372

canon SX260: $362

sony HX50V $569

pana TZ40/ZS30 $469
