Whenever I rode my minivelo, the same as with my folding bikes, I've always had people interested in them. The question I almost always got was "where can I get one for myself?". The problem had always been the lack of availability here in the USA. Now we have more options for folders (except for the fact thorusa has permantly closed down), but the demand has shifted towards ebikes. Minivelos are in high demand, but really only motorized models. Ebikes have become one of the most popular modes of transportation, along with electric scooters. I see the occasional folder, but almost EVERYTHING is motorized. Trying to get anything that isn't hugely popular here in North America (404 wheelsets as a prime example, or these sweet minivelos) costs an arm & a leg to import. Definitely SUX!!!
