Has anyone here ridden a mini velo?

Has anyone here ridden one of these things? If so, how does it feel compared to a normal bike.

The steering is much twitchier than a full size bike but after a 10 minute ride, you dont notice.

I am never gonna get one, but I don't like really twitchy bikes. My Specialized is VERY twitchy and it is kind of scary feeling to go down hills really fast.

I have wanted to ride one of those things for a while. The wheel being behind the handlebars must feel weird.

I'm guessing bumps would be bumpier.
