This suit for a ride to train station, yumcha, avoid traffic jam, avoid cari parking headache.
nanti i can go the train station later too, tak payah gaduh parking.
the Phone APP provides security alarm and find my vehicle functions, excellent.
Saw plenty of these electric bikes in China. The selling price there only around RM1k, means manufacturing cost is less than that.
The local manufacturer sure import all parts in china assemble here, wondering RM 1k cost selling at RM 2k…Got Subsidized by gov lagi RM2.4k..
Profit RM 3.2k+ for stuf worth only RM 1K??
