Its just a case of you get what you pay for.
As has been commented previously it appears more of these bikes are pushed around (often due to failure of some part) than actually ridden.
If you just want a bike as a fashion accessory for going to the pub maybe these have a purpose.
If you want a bike to ride around for pleasure and reliability these are not up to the job. One of the joys of fixed/single speed is the mechanical simplicity and reliability, the unipack fails utterly on the reliability and is too heavy.
