I don't like that the Jorg and Olif, and the Electra only have a rear coaster brake. That may not be enough stopping power for a North American urban environment. There's no front brake, which is the most effective brake. Of course some fixed gear riders may disagree.

The Novara and the Kronan have handbrakes which I would prefer if it was me.
