The bike folds "well enough" especially for the bigger wheels. Rollability doesn't matter to me; ride matters a whole lot more. But, if it was $3k, I'd not be interested. My Pakit was around $2200 at 19lbs but obviously 16" wheels don't ride as plush as 24". The price would have be pretty much the same as a Pakit though for me to even consider it - giving up the added convenience of the smaller wheels for the better ride of the larger. But - if I was considering the Helix (plus a motor kit) versus ANY other commercially available 24" or 26" e-bike, I'd definitely go with the Helix. No contest. Gotta compare apples to apples....and a motorized helix compared to a stromer or other full sized bike is a winner in weight and foldability.
