Helix looks better engineered, but as many Kickstarter campaigns, its at a very early stage in the concept to market process.
I hope the designer, Peter Boutakis, chimes in on here, more heads and all that, and, right at the core of his market :-)
Ahhhh i remembered that "impossible" one and apparently it is cancelled. They found out it was impossible for the super cheap price point that they where trying to sell it for. Carbon Fiber and electric motor super foldable escooter for $500 was pretty much impossible from all the discussion we had around here, they stated that it was 3x more expensive in the end! hahah they really needed a business student on the team and they admitted it! And now this team is offering a full titanium bike for $1500 is super cheap considering Ti frames alone are around that price! Just the bromption front and rear triangle is over $900 USD, how are these guys going to give you a full bike? Even our Famous Ti swift was not cheap so that was a good gauge for a custom built bike gram.
