All bikes have compromises towards some end goal.
Want it ultralight? Then it'll be a wedgie, not a comfortable recumbent.
Want it to tolerate handling abuse? It won't be fragile carbon fiber.
No bike does it all. Each has its niche.
I want big wheels, ruggedness, light weight, a good price, standard components,
a compact & quick fold.
Helix does that best. It's what I'd been searching for after owning 20" Dahons.
(It would be nice if it were lighter. But the weight is still pretty good for what it is.)
To have other priorities is fine, & those people should buy something else.
To criticize something one doesn't want might be fun, but it's meh....
