You have to know the URL or play with the last part of the products' URL to find the page, therefore it's hidden.
There is also the small chance of a discount at launch.

For the bikes, I think so.

The travel case is 1 year late. They explained the delays
When we took pre-orders for the travelcase it was in the final development phase but then we had a breakthrough design change that warranted a complete redesign. We're excited to let you know the final design is revolutionary just like Helix itself.
We have minimized the overall volume by changing the top of the case to a curved design. This allows the case to fit in more places, for example it is more likely to clear the sloping window of a hatchback trunk.
We have also incorporated a telescopic handle without sacrificing internal space.
The case is actually smaller than the overall dimensions of your bike. This was made possible by designing two quick-release mechanisms to add to your existing bike which will allow you to condense the size of your Helix by roughly 20%. This in itself represents a breakthrough in folding bike design as Helix is the only folding bike to fold and break-away offering two folding modes - small and smaller! These mechanisms also make your bike far more durable in transit as they eliminate the risk of damage to key impact points.
Rack and mudguards are in the last prototype stage. Final details and design should be completed by March 31st.
I guess they are waiting for this milestone before announcing the product and a delivery date.
I'm looking forward to the mudguards as they will be more practical than the rollable ones I use.
They have a perfectionist mentality and mean well.
The products are late, but very well designed. My Helix is still amazing after a year and a half.
