2008 Schwinn Loop, new folder entering the game?

Like their release of a line of electric bikes it also now appears they're getting into the folding market.



$219 on Amazon

Features:
* Alloy Super Low Stand-Over Folding Frame
* Built in rear carrier, fenders, alloy rims
* Heavy gauge nylon carry bag included
* Alloy front and rear linear pull brakes
* 20" alloy rims and city tires

I can't find any information on it from the Schwinn website but there is one on YouTube that has a review (though they don't offer much information). Stores like Sports Authority and Dicks Sporting Goods are showing the bike on their websites as well. I'm curious to take a look to check its build quality in person this weekend if I can happen to find one locally.

Has anyone had any hands on or seen these locally yet? The price point isn't too bad and it has a little more radical design than your typical straight bar. The built in rear rack looks very sturdy as well. Would prefer something like this in black, though a can of spray paint could tackle that job quickly.
