Hahahah!!! Thank you..

The Forest Research Institute is actually a jungle within the city area.. A lot of information about Malaysia's flora and fauna are stored there..

Hmmm... impressive! I assume that's a Dahon Jetstream you're riding? If so:

1. How do you find the handling for trail or off-road riding?
2. Can you install larger tires (e.g., Big Apple tires) on it?

Thanks!

Yep, they're Jetstreams allright!

These bikes are stock-standard bikes straight out of the box and on the trial, they handled pretty well..

As for fitting Big Apples, I don't think its an issue are there's enough clearance on the fork both front and rear..

And if you want more resources on the Jetstream going offroad, here's a good reference: https://www.debcar.com/Story-BikeMechanical.htm
