    Ahh, sorry. Well, I know exactly what you mean now. And no, I don't think one with a swing arm would work. I had one of those from Thule for my last much smaller bike and it just made it.... No, the CrossTour and UCP from WW are BIG bikes. Especially now that he's gone to 27.5 wheels. I...

    I can only tell you that originally he offered a front rack option, which I didn't need. It came with a really nice rack. So nice I hated to take it off! But I didn't need it 95% of the time. So for the 5% time I do need storage I pop on this MTX unit. & move the rear light to the back of it.

    Thanks for your kind remarks. My CrossTour has 26" tires/wheels. I believe he's using 27.5 now. Both are fine.... I switched my 45NRTH tires (sold them on eBay) and got Vee "Zig-Zag" tires. The 45Nrths were great. But they were so LOUD! And since I decided not to ride in snow or...

    1: R & M has far less power and no throttle. And vs. other brands it also has Gates and Rohloff. 2: I did a HUGE amount of research and rode many bikes including R&M. Price was not an object for me, I tested an Optibike and didn't like it for multiple reasons. Though I should note, WW is a...

    Trusting the the comment "are people getting smaller?" was tongue in cheek; cuz otherwise it would be a little rude. - I'm 6'6" tall and ride an XL CrossTour very comfortably. I think that's about a 21" frame. Remember, the 4" tires are like adding an inch or two to the frame height. -...

    Oddly, that's not an easy question to answer. because they're so different. Here's how I'd put it. The WW with 4" tires (regardless of what brand) and the seat post suspension is a VERY CUSHY ride. It's a softer ride than my full suspension FLX. I ride over everything like it was nothing...

    Answers from my perspective as an owner of a Crosstour with 300miles: R&M has wonderful bikes. I've ridden many models. Their suspension is amazing. Shifting is sweet with the integrated Bosh/Rohloff system. But the power is lacking, and there's no throttle. Don't think you want/need a...

    Question about security / quick release

    (Not related to Watt wagon - but to your question) I've only tried I tried Pinhead I found it very difficult get wheels and seat off and on with it. Once I had a shop fix a flat for me. The next day I went for a ride. I was racing down hills at 30 mph. At one point I decided to turn around...

    Confessions of an ebike startup owner - Watt Wagons

    Congratulations Pushcar! A great year for you. Reading the comments, I thought Mike’s E-bikes had a great point advising you to be careful, and I took it as caring as much as criticism. FlatSiz911 was also kind, and I think correct to praise you for your openness. If I may say, it’s a...
