Seattle Cycles launches electric folding bike at CES | Bicycle Retailer and Industry News
Looks like an intriguing design, and less than 30 lb.

I just wandered through the Seattle cycles website and found their products page.
Awesome both 20" and 16" titanium Frame folders and a Stroller bike.
I have a sneaky suspicion they are going to be priced significantly higher than the Helix..
Get ready to drool my friends....

picture shows some cable going into the cassette .... no motor to be seen and no battery.... I guess the waterbottle should look like the battery ... no cable for any controls up front ....
why the high clearance fork ?
30 lbs .. yeah... that's an helix ... oh did I just say that ?
cool looking bike though

For those Googlaire Programmers & code, writers paid lucratively, so Seattle and San Francisco are easily affordable.

It's price will be very high judging by their prices for non electric folders. https://seattle-cycles.squarespace.com/shop
On this page and in this thread the mentioned price is 10k. It turns out Moulton is cheap after all
Fenders don't seem to be included under the price or be even mountable...

Looks like Seattle Cycles is anticipating competition from Helix..
From their site...
"We believe in simplicity in design. Our patented designs allow all Burke bicycles to achieve amazing compactness in folding by using a minimal number of simple hinges. No complicated linkages, no multiple degree-of-freedom joints, no curvy tubes, no one-legged fork, and no custom-made wheel hubs."

Not sure you can buy a Burke from a retailer .. last year they appeared built to order and not a stocked item..
For $5k, I just custom built an e-Moulton for a customer .. base TSR frame, Alfine 8 speed.. racks, 750w bottom bracket motor, Lekkie chainring, nickel chain, 2 7amp/hr batteries, fenders .. the way he rides it, over 50 miles per charge .. loves the way it handles with weight as low and centrally located as possible .. bike maintains the ability to easily separate with cable disconnects as needed.. I tested it for about 50 miles before I delivered it.. very comfortable with cruising speeds in the mid-20 mph .. if I didn't already have a couple of e-bikes, I'd probably do the same build for myself..
