- Easy to use bike: there are no accessories making the bike easy to use for commuting, leisure or travel: no mudguard, no front or rear rack, no possibility to carry anything on the bike, no case, no lighting (hub dynamo)... just nothing.

And the drawbacks remains: very complex design exposed to dirt, bad wheel size, bad tire width, very limited choice of tires...

The other problem is the market evolution since the start of the Kickstarter campaign: the folding bike market doesn't grow anymore, customers want electric assist folding bikes, nothing is foreseen to add an electric assist to Helix, as most folding bikes, its difficult to add an electric assist on Hellix and the weight of Helix will probably end-up in a relatively heavy electric assist bike.
