Sort of. I *think* the premise of the Helix is that at 24", it offers a near "full size" ride compared to most folders that have only 16" or 20" wheels. At the same time, unlike ChangeBike or other full size bikes that can be folded or disassembled, the Helix offers to fold down to near Brompton-sized folded dimensions without having to disengage any parts but still offer the compact form factor that a smaller wheeled bike offers when transporting folded. So, the Helix might represent that "sweet spot" between functionality, rideability, and foldability. We're all just waiting for actual use reviews from the new owners!
