It seems to be headed for that niche, but afraid to go all the way.

Yes these will sell worldwide, but that's up to the dealer and from what we've heard they're much more into racing and MTB, then urban.

@Anon,

They use eccentric bottom brackets. Also, it doesn't have to be Dutch to be good — more styles, more sales, better for everyone. Also, not weighing 50 pounds works for cities that aren't flat. The Cargonistas always overlook the "hills" part.

Maybe Byron at Bike Hugger can answer that one for you since he just left the official product launch.

Do you know if they plan to sell them over in Germany or the rest of Europe? The market for bikes like that over here is huge.
