seems pretty neat, but that price tag

I'd like to have that chainguard though

Seems like if it's not going to fold nor have any suspension at all, they may as well have used bigger wheels.

HumanPerson: That's a "full chain case" and they're popular in The Netherlands. Ladies don't appreciate having chain grease on their skirts. ;-)

I like that the front fender goes down far enough to keep pants clean, too.

It has a shock absorbing seat post. We have the NBD and the HSD, and the NBD is noticably more light and nimble.
So there is less need for a front shock.
Full chain cover is appreciated by the spousal-unit!

Regarding "folding": for uss, the folding handlebar is critical in that it allows the two Terns to be compactly stored underneath the bed, in our home-brew camper van. When traveling this is much more safe and convenient than an external bike rack.
