FYI, I just joined the forum because I'm also seeking minivelo options after having ordered a Respect last year (6 months ago) and its still not shown up. Lots of runaround from the owner, constant "they'll be here next week"

Anyone that preordered the (supposed) latest edition is in the same boat so I'd say the Respect isn't an option at the moment.

I love the Hooligan, and maybe I'll end up searching for one of those, myself, but I wanted one mostly for tooling around in a busy downtown known for bike thieves so I didn't really want to invest that much... we'll see.
