The Ori is the same or very similar to the Mezzo folding bikes. I don't know the relationship between the brands. Maybe Mezzo licensed the design to the Ori company or maybe the Chinese manufacturer builds the Mezzo bikes for the UK company. Anyway, the design and features can be studied at the Mezzo website and on several YouTube videos. There is an extensive thread on this folding bikes forum about the Mezzo versus Brompton and about upgrading the Mezzo.
