Your question is very vague !    Vogue as you call is actually Oscar brand. There is 7 speed, 8 speed and even 21 speed and 24 speed. Most probably the one you are asking about is 7 speed. Also there are steel frame and also aluminum frame. The Vogue model is OK if it is the aluminum frame and it actually a copy of the Dahon Speed but made by others. This I mean the standard model and not the curved Dolphin model. I can't say the components are good though but as something to catalyst you into more serious riding and bikes, it should be OK.

That said, for a newbie who have not really ride before, you won't differentiate YET why some bikes are so much more expensive but you will eventually if you are still riding after some time. But commuting to MRT , meaning carrying it on the trains, the fold won't be convenient on cheaper brands but adaptable with some difficulty like heavier weight and bulkiness.

Come to think of it, there's not one 16 inch folding bike within that price range    16 inch wheels folds more compact and smaller for commuting. Most 16 inchers are above certain quality.

I think for another extra RM200, you can get the Oscar Vogue, 8 speed , aluminum frame from Kimbell Jaya in Cheras. But maybe the one from online is the same , I can't be sure.

Thank you so much for your replies and input etigge,KenC,weikee & mizi28
Appreciate it very much.

Yeah, it was a pretty vague question indeed and I do apologise for that.
I took all the advice and suggestions from all of you and did my own research as well.
It seems to me that 16" aluminium will be the best bet for daily MRT commuting in terms of portability.

I'll fork out a bit more and will be getting the XDS FA16 7sp for myself and Oscar Vogue 16" for my fiancé.
Would love for her to get into biking as well during the weekends.
Still waiting on the stock availability from SL Dengkil and will post up pics when they're here.

Thanks guys!

I think you should get the same bike for your fiance as well. The XDS FA16 is a good choice. The picture here, is a retired teacher who has been riding hers since 2013 and she's still riding it. Only problem is after you improve on your stamina and skills, the gear ratio is not high enough when you want to go faster. Reason is, on 7 speeds, the smallest cog on the rear is 14 teeths and when ride fast, you will be free wheeling. It's good enough for commuting though. The one in the picture has been modified by me to 8 speed with 11/32T cassette at the rear for better long distance riding.

The folded size is small enough to actually fit into the IKEA Dimpa bag as you can see in the pictures. The Bromptons also is about the size but the Bromptons' wheel are an inch bigger in diameter.

Nice compact bike. Sifu etigge, just wanna ask, i remember i read somewhere that 7 speed wheelset is hard to mod to 8 speed, is that same in the case above? or just take out the 7 speed cassette and change with a 8 speed one?

Good advice sifu. Dont be too cheap and end up with something you dont enjoy riding, cant sell. End up being more expensive anyway. Go test some mid range bikes then some cheap ones. If you cant tell the difference, you buy the cheap ones, lol

But if after 1 ride and found cycling is stupid… cheap bike and expensive bike are all junk bike... Yes, this happens most of the time.
Throw away a 500buck bike, you loose 500
Sell away an expensive bike you loose 500 too + the hassle of selling…

just curious... what the cyclist weight limit for 16 inch foldies like those above?
