Hello All, This project is dead. Battery placement was tested in different mounting positions and based on the spec was too large for frame integrity. I am still Pro WW and working with Pushkar on a different frame that can support the battery spec. Thanks to all for reading, commenting, and...

The top tube on this build will be slighlty larger to allow for internal cable routing.

That's my thought too!!!

You raise good points and I’ll touch base with Pushkar. The idea (apparently not thought out) was to future proof the bike battery. In my area, we have a National Park and State Park side by side where I ride. They have charging stations throughout the parks but I would likely find a regular 120...

I have it down to muscle memory and you'd never believe the astonished looks I get from motorist. Plus, I live in a fairly flat terrain.

I forgot to ask Pushkar about the rack mount battery ability to be used as an inverter. This was discussed in the design phase. Added to the list. He may have told me at some point there was not enough room in the case but I will confirm.

No not painted, possibly anodized. Pushkar says the shop can get the titanium close to black while still allowing the beauty of the metal to show. I want to see samples before I commit.

For the last four years I've been riding a fat tire (26 x 4) as a commuter bike and I'm not sure I could go back. The beauty of this style ride is I can go off road at any time and do a lot but also use the bike as my main form of transportation in the city.

I love my throttle - I can fully stop at stop signs and get the bike moving again without killing my knees! Thats really the only time I use except for a rare pass on the road.

UPDATE 6: The Waiting Game (Part Two) I spoke with Pushkar and the build is still moving bit by bit - expected ship date late September or October. This items below are still is process. Battery Design - A design concept was agreed last Sunday 5/2/2021. Super excited - the specs and...

I agree and it may remain naked. My goal is to darken the Ti without losing its beauty but that may be difficult without a full paint and then I agree why bother. A bike shop a few blocks from me specializes in high-end electric cargo bikes. I decided to go custom to get the build my way. In...

My vision is for a hybrid TI fat-tire commuter, cruiser, and cargo with an emphasis on range and comfort for all terrains in my area. My new frame built will be based off the Salsa Blackborow GX Eagle.

UPDATE 5: The Waiting Game It’s a while since my last post, thanks @AdilDesai for reminding me update you all. I spoke with Pushkar a few times since my last post. We continue to discuss the battery and the color scheme. I have tried to leave Pushkar alone as I know he has many fires to tend...

I sent a text this morning to Pushkar for updates. Once we touch base I will update the forum. Not sure I should ask but what are the Founder Benefits?

Is the motor cutting off an issue specific to this bike or are there similar reports from other owners? I ask as I don't remember reading about this issue with others.

Congrats on your bike!

UPDATE 4: Design and Cost Finalization Since my last post, Pushkar and I have worked on several design issues and component shortages to approach a final build list and specs. We are close, within weeks of pulling the trigger!!! Design issues: Frame Design - Will the Gates Drive work...

I can't find info on the X2 and the differences from the X1. Can you show me the way? :)

You made me laugh out loud. I'm 50 and ride over curbs with a fat tire hub motor from time to time, not often and I've never had a pinch flat - although I take them at one mile per hour. :)
