I was looking at this bike online a few days ago and it looks super nice. Looks like a good alternative to a Moulton. I know the Moulton comes apart but it's not a folding bike. I watched a video of a guy taking apart a Moulton and it wasn't too easy. The Neutrino has great big tires like an older person needs without an outdated suspension. Anyway 20 inch wheel bikes don't do very well off road. I would like to see the Neutrino come with an internal hub and a $1500 dollar price tag. In the future I can see buying the frame set and building up a 3 speed bike. I can't imagine that there is a big market for this bike so I don't think you can wait to long to buy one.
There are a few reviews online just Google Velo Orange Neutrino.

This Velo Orange Neutrino has a classic frame and no suspension. Its a small wheeled classic bike.
Nothing in common with a Moulton which is a totally different concept: a very stiff multi tubular space frame, much stiffer than a classic diamond frame, combined with full suspension and small wheels.
For the size, the separable Moulton, even if bigger than a folding like a Brompton or Birdy, is smaller to transport than the Neutrino.

There are many brands making this kind of mini-velo in Japan, some fold, some other not.
One of the best is Tyrell. There is the well known Tyrell Ives folding but there are several other higher end models.
Japan is also one of the biggest market for high end Moulton.

Those mini gravels are screaming for internally-geared rear hubs...

This thread has got me looking at mini velo bikes! I read that the C-virus is playing havoc with the shipping schedule.

I’ve been eyeing the fat tire Velo Orange Neutrino for some time now. I love my Dahon Smooth Hound and a HammerHead mini velos. Both of them are the none folding models. A fat tired Neutrino would fit right in, but I’m having a hard time with the $2,500 price for something I can’t see and ride before I buy.
