Mine too, and it's a recent change, so probably a result of them working out the final checkout etc. I asked a few months ago if my order number meant that they had sold 1400+ helixes, because I was worried about how long it would take to get the bike. I was told that the number isn't the number of bikes sold, although going by the Kickstarter, and how early I made a pre-order, it seemed a fair estimate at how many they might have sold to that point. Maybe Helix wanted to clarify that it isn't the number of bikes sold, and probably also isn't the order that the bikes will be shipped in too. However, they have a machine that engraves serial numbers and bike number (1-number produced), and I doubt they would go to the hassle of doing it out of order. Maybe they want to ship to the angriest people first to placate them, who knows
There should be a real update today. Fingers crossed! (well, they've been crossed for quite a while already)
