They could certainly go a lot lighter. Of course, none of these bikes are extremely expensive either. I think the Big Shot, Hooligan 8 and BD mini velos all come in under $600. They're a pretty decent weight for the price.

One of those Big Shots with a little front porteur rack and a 3 speed gear hub could be a lot of fun to me
Kinda disappointed that they're 25 lbs. I have an aluminum folding bike and it weighs around 25lbs. I thought the folding hinge added about a 1lb to the overall weight.
