[Pedal Progression] EP1: New bike day! Review: LIAOGE TRIFOLD (LIAOGE666) is it really worth it...?

There are tons of brompton alternative trifolds out there in the market ever since COVID19 restriction started 2-3 years ago.
I’ve tried a few brands in the Singapore’s market and have decided to stick with the brand new 3rd Generation Liaoge Trifold/ Liaoge666.
In this short video, lets look at how this bike performs for a leisure rider (like myself).

Thanks ray! :)

Video is well-made 👍

Thanks for your compliment! I am still learning how to do simple video contents to share with like-minded individuals and people who are completely new to cycling. Cheers!

My first time watching a foldable bicycle review from this channel. I have been to Liaoge's bike shop last year to modify my Rifle brand bifold. Hope to visit Liaoge soon! Thanks for sharing. You do speak well by the way. Well done!

[@KCadence]

Thank you so much for your nice words! Rifle is a good brand. I've got a Rifle AK20 and I have to say that it really performs very well even at stock level. Cheers! 😊

[@i-vernsimphonique3012]

@@KCadence AK20! Nice! I have an RD10. 😄

[@andrewie4]

Your opening music so happening. I dunno who u r. But I m gonna subscribe to your video. Ahahhahahha

[@KCadence]

Thank you for your kind words! :)

[@stanleyngzhiwei1332]

I bough it also .. modded to my liking and still cheaper then a stock bike from other brand wit similar specifications

[@KCadence]

Hi Stanley! I feel you bro, for someone like us who are "poisoned" definitely would wish to mod our bikes to our liking (especially at a lowest cost). Stay tune to my series! I'm gonna do up a video on my LG666 mod soon - when I am free :)

Thanks for subbing! 🎉

[@limchoonteck1]

Also just got a grey one, i felt u miss some points. No doubt is a value for money bike, i already change some parts at the shop.

[@KCadence]

The grey looks good! So far I’ve only commented on initial user-experience and comfort based on a short ride. Do not wish to be too technical 😂

[@davidhunternyc1]

How has the LIAOGE TRIFOLD (LIAOGE666) been after a year? Did you make changes? Is the build quality great? Is there another Brompton clone that you found that is better than the Liaoge? Thank you.

[@KCadence]

Apologies for late reply! So far the trifold has been performing great. And yes, indeed I’ve modified my trifold to quite a decent specs compared to stock parts. Riding performance has been great. I’m probably gonna just stick to this bike 😂

[@derekalex4506]

Hi there thanks for the review! Yours is the v2 or the latest version?

[@KCadence]

Hello! Its v3 latest version!

[@derekalex4506]

@@KCadence hi thanks! It seems that there are so many issue as per what you mentioned haha . The seat is one big thing I would say

[@KCadence]

The issues are quite minor! Some of the parts can be easily replaced. Overall still quite a decent bike. Most stock bikes are like that. Cheers! 💪🏻

[@palmcrazysg]

Which bike fold much slimmer? Original Brompton or Liaoge 666? if so, by how much?

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

My 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton, with mudguards, is down to 8,5 kilo at present, and I expect to reach at least 8 kilo soon. About the same as an original titanium bike with 4 gears! Finn. Denmark

[@jasontay9927]

Can you share where you bought the horizontal bar that was mounted on the M handle bar? How much is it?

[@KCadence]

Hi Jason! Got this "Snap-On" M bar extender from Shopee awhile ago for my pikes. Apparently, it fits nicely on this bike too. However, I would recommend an extender that can be screwed on if you plan to mount your handphone on this.

[@jasontay9927]

@@KCadence suggest u upgrade your pedal to a promend pedal. It is much smoother than the stock plastic pedal. 😂

[@KCadence]

@@jasontay9927 fully agree with you! I have promend pedals on two of my other foldies and its really smooth! I have different plans to mod on this bike and will share with everyone on my channel soon! 👍🏻

[@jasontay9927]

@@KCadence will u be making a comparison between your liaoge 666 and other foldies? In term of speed and riding experiences.

[@KCadence]

@@jasontay9927 Great suggestion, I may think about this in the future. Riding experience wise, can compare between different foldies but performance wise is slightly challenging and unfair because different bikes are built differently (e.g. 20/22" vs 16" wheelset etc). As of now, my plan with lg666 is simply for breathtaking leisure rides 😁

[@tina-huang]

may i ask if it's possible to fold this and put it into a 29 inch suitcase and ship it with my flight out of singapore? let's say if folded and packaged safely the box that comes with it is too big and most airline requires a max size of 158cm for all sides summed

[@KCadence]

Hey there! I haven't actually tried packing this trifold in a 29 inch suitcase before. But to be on the safe side, I would suggest not risking it because the luggage handlers can sometimes be rough and your trifold may end up scratched or the rear derailleur may become misaligned. This can be a hassle, especially if you're traveling overseas without the necessary tools to fix it. So, it might be worth considering finding a suitcase that's specifically designed to fit a trifold to ensure it stays protected during transit.

[@MudbloodWizard]

How tall are you? Do you think it's suitable for someone with the height of 178cm?

[@KCadence]

I’m 174cm. For 178cm you can consider replacing the seatpost to a 600mm one.

[@smsmyth]

Which colour did you choose ? Matte Black ?

[@KCadence]

Yeah, I chose the matte black version 😎

[@mengtack]

Mod mine to carbon wheel love the speed

[@KCadence]

How was it? Did you do both front and rear carbon rim?

[@limchoonteck1]

may i know where to get them?

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

A soft saddle! There is a reason why Pro Riders use stone hard saddles! Try to make your butt a little more used to riding before deciding to change! And the small wheels are heavy rolling with much rolling resistance. Its one asset is the fold. I didn't know for what use I had the low gears, of 6, before I met a very steep hill. Finn. Denmark

[@beybladeking2772]

is the liaoge stickers removable?

[@KCadence]

The latest version should be removable

May I ask. Where is the nice hill tat u r riding?? So scenic place. Thanks
