I'm so confused now. When are the first backers getting bikes?

At first that's what I thought tonight, as well, and I laughed and said goodbye, Helix. But then I realized May 1 is when the BALANCE is required; they are now accepting 50% deposits although I did not get the promised email today announcing that. What to do, what to do...

Backer update in 18th apparently showed high level timeline of backer delivery starting in early May and completing in July.
Pre-orders are advertised for July delivery, though assume later in July and staggered beyond then depending on volumes.

I really like the design and concept of this bike. I hope this project will materialize.

Pulled the trigger
I've ordered a Helix, despite some reluctance born of the delays and lousy communication over the past year. Fingers crossed that it turns out worth the risk.

**** it. I ordered one too.
If I get scammed, then hopefully the insurance on my credit card will cover it. This isn't Kickstarter any more, and after reading all the updates and information about this thing that I can, I am convinced I will get a bike by the end of this year, though I thinking it will arrive in July is a mite optimisitc.

Ehh... requiring the balance rather than a deposit on May 1, isn't the former actually worse ?
Its supposed to mean that full payments by May 1st right ? Or am I reading what you're saying here wrongly ?

If I'm reading what you're reading, that's full payment months before a buyer would see a bike. And as we know, months with this guy can easily become years or never.

Yes .. that's what I was inferring.
There's no fixed dateline for delivery despite requiring a full payment requirement on May 1st.
I would say a deposit by the May 1st to get in queue for the pre-order. And full payment upon ready to ship. Shipment within like 72 hours of full payment would make much, much more sense looking at how things have panned out over the past year.
