I 100% agree with you. I have conversations in my inbox from 2015 with Peter claiming that the 22 pound maximum weight limit was with gears. I don't see how this has evolved to denials and iterations that this acclaimed weight was only with a fixed gear bicycle. A fixed gear bike was not in the cards at the beginning. So yes, I am disappointed. The Helix was supposed to be the lightest multi-gear folding bicycle in the world. I am not hating on Helix. I'm just disappointed with the final product as is but I do believe over the next few years improvements will be made and we will all get the bicycle we were promised. Helix breaks the mold of folding bicycles. We just need to give it time to mature.
