It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

No, this is not a lightweight design, it's frigging 27 kg!
It's not cheap either - at least, i've been concidering a Cooper electric single-speed as a belt-drive commuter, and it's half the price of the Veloretti, and almost half the weight (ab. 14 kg vs 27!). It's sad, as i found out Cooper bikes do not ship to Finland (anymore).
Never heard of them before but the belt drive caught my attention: Do they have any geared options?
Edit: Looks like they do, but unfortunately they're all chain driven. Bummer.
Yup, correct. It's either a single speed belt drive Cooper - or the chain drive models with gears. But the Veloretti in question does not have gears (hence my comparison))
Let me know if you have good belt-drive candidates for a commuting bike: light, geared and electric. Think electrified Mikamaro or (budget friendlier) Schindelhauer (the last ones are built on aluminium frames, though - not my cup of tea)).
Pretty sure Schindelhauer do electric bikes.
They do, yeah! And they have several models, not only single speed bikes, but geared too (pinion and enviolo).
27 - those are rookie numbers! Mine weighs 38.
