This really does look like a bike that may drastically redefine the price/performance ratio. Once this bike actually hits the market, I've been wondering for a while whether it is a threat to the likes of Brompton and Bike Friday. Helix is lower cost but better material, larger wheels, much lighter etc - and at $1600 for a 10 speed titanium? It also folds to about the same physical volume as a Brompton supposedly.
So, very impressive in all.
I didn't post the pictures, as copy & paste doesn't carry them over.
As for what's contained herein, I hope this is fully completed on a decent schedule. It will, possibly, change the folding bike industry for the better. Competition brings prices down.
