Today, with so many outdoor and adventure seekers in us, how often we wished we had a  phone that we could bring along that can withstand the element,  bad weather, have long battery life (12 hours of talk time) and standby (65 days long enough) , temperature changes (-20deg and +60 deg) OR in that awkward situation that you may be in the pool,  sauna, jacuzzi and cannot be contacted?

Well..here is something we  thought you would like – The Seals VR7.  This is one TOUGH phone. IP-67  rated which means it was designed from inside out that is protected from rain, sea air and can be used in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. When they say ruggedised, you make sure it’s Mil Std 810 or IP67. The lower the specs eg IP54, it means it has a lower spec.

MIL-810G US Military Standard – Resistant to fog, humidity, transport shock, and thermal shock. Operational in extreme temperatures ranging from -20˚C to +60˚C

Protected against damage from petroleum with widely space keys for ease of use with gloved hands

Extra-loud speaker when you work in very noisy construction environments or boiler rooms.

A special focus on the Tern Joe P24 and C21 for folks who want a 26 inch wheeled foldie

Dear everyone,

We copied this post from Tern Singapore, permission given to repost here:

“All of us grew up riding big wheeled bikes and they like the specs and price for buying something that they are more comfortable with. Unfortunately with more rubber and metal, it’s not a weight weeny but it’s still lighter than  your average  26 inch MTB and more expensive options.

While the Joe series are less compact, preferences by our mainstream customers cannot be ignored and therefore the foldability for a 26 inch wheel bike that has at least 21 speeds (the Joe P24 is 24 speeds) is welcomed but a word of caution that it will not meet the LTA’s guideline for commuting recommendations. For those who recently purchased a Tern Joe series, there is a feature ( other than Tern’s excellent track record of design really nice looking bikes and innovative folds), its the ability to flatten your bike for you to fit it into your car/taxi boot AND that gap between walls or cupboards for storage. How did the Tern design team achieve that?

N fold design gives you a faster and more even fold. and the real gem is in the handlebar. with a provided allen key that is part of the ARX grips, you can now release the stem with the handlebar and reinsert it in parallel to the bike after its folded ( what a mouthful!)

Now – that’s what I call a head-Terning innovation.

Joe P24s are retailing at S$1250 and Joe C21 S$950.

Hi EVERYONE! Team MBS is resting on Monday 7 May in lieu of Vesak Day Saturday. We thank everyone for making our day with your visit, patronage and the day spent testing the bikes. We will be back again on Tuesday 8 May 2012.

Month of May really seems to have a number of holidays – not really complaining as Singaporeans are a hardworking lot and despite the quirks and opinion held by others, we have a relative peaceful setting.

So while we try to keep getting your bikes ready for the long weekend, we will need to take a required government gazetted break.

So we will be OPEN this Saturday which is the actual Vesak Day, we will be closed to rest on Monday the 7 May 2012.

Coming soon to you – more models, more accessories and more choices

Posted on by

The folding bikes scene has certainly picked up and the benefits of owning a high quality folding bike is a good investment into health, mobility and discovery. NParks, LTA and SMRT have invested in facilities that really offer cyclists ample opportunities to enjoy our garden city.

We had a great time doing our stock check, sitting down reviewing our hits and misses and prawn fishing competition.

The final one common denominator that surfaced – It’s all about YOU!

We enjoy helping our customers (re)discover their cycling life, and with so many brands, many choices for accessories and models to choose from, we have helped many people make sense out of the noise (so to speak).

So as we unfold into the rest of the year, we will work on getting more models, more accessories and renew our free workshops on bike care and cycling in groups.

We will also be ranging new stuff and carrying a wider range of Biologic, Syntace, Wheelsport, Powerstar accessories and more models of the folding bike brands that we ranged; Tern, Dahon, DNA, Flamingo(soon to be rebadged as MIT), Airnimal, Bike Friday, Tyrell, Moulton.

But please bear with us as we are trying our best to give sufficient attention to everything and while we are looking into hiring more mechanics and retail staff, and many of you keep telling us to open a branch at the North East side of Singapore.   With rising rental and wages, the coming Lemon Law,  it’s harder to make a business case but we will keep trying. Thanks for your unending support and patronage.
