Vert V8 foldable bicycle

It has always been a dream for me to own a bicycle. In the past, bicycle wasnt so affordable to the family and with concerns over safety reason, my parents wasnt in favor of cycling. Not to mention to own my own bicycle.
Also since we are staying in a small room flat where space is limited, parking a bicycle in the house is not ideal.

As i grew older, the thought of cycling also disappeared with factors like weather, safety to ride etc....

Only recently, with the fanciful selection of bicycle, i finally found one that caters to my needs. A foldable bicycle.
With the various brands in the market, i decided to start with something that i feel comfortable and perform reasonably decent as an entry bicycle.

Vert V8, a local brand made in China was shortlisted after comparing with choices like Tern D7, Dahon Route, I decided that this bike has all of it and at a much more affordable price than the above 2.

The Specifications
20" Wheel-size Kenda Tyre 20 x 1.5
Shimano Tourney TX 7 gear. 
Aluminium frame, crank arm, stem, handle bar and seat post.
Disc brakes front and rear.
Quick release wheel locks.
Weight 11 kg. 
Foldable pedal.
1 year manufacture warranty.

Basically at $398 only, this bike rocks with a weight of 11kg and comes with a press button gear shifter.

So here it is...my first bicycle. Pretty fast a ride i feel...and i dont think i will be doing any form of upgrades to this bicycle for now.
