Those wanting refunds can do so by contacting Helix. I, for one, plan on waiting until my pre-order is delivered sometime in the spring/summer of 2021.
I just read the post. Although it's not fantastic news, a seemingly realistic shipping date is refreshing, and now I feel like I can just concentrate on the bike I have instead of expecting the potential arrival of the Helix this year. It's also great for Helix to offer refunds to backers too, meaning that some of their manufacturing will be freed up for those later on in the waiting list, such as us preorder customers. Hopefully the fenders will be available by next year, and any other manufacturing improvements and resolved issues will help make our bikes a tiny weeny bit better.
I'm also going to wait for my Helix. I'm going to be at least 40 by the time the damn thing arrives, but I'm still looking forward to its eventual delivery. I wish I'd done the same as GibsonSean and bought out an early backer though! Lucky SOB
