Helix is like my friend who has been working on his PhD for six years and needs just a little more time to finish it... I don't understand why Peter doesn't just release it instead of tweaking the design every few months. I don't think anything will change...
I do believe there is a decent liklihood we will be getting our bikes at some point in the next 12 months or so.
The design has not changed for some time.
The focus for much of this year seems to have been on developing and establishing manufacturing processes (process automation in particular seems to have been very time consuming).
This all seems pretty much done now, but it looks like there remains plenty to do before full scale assembly and shipping can begin.
