Thanks for the explanation, and just to be clear it's not your fault that people have gotten so heavy. It's always interesting to see folks spending tons of effort to make their bike a few grams lighter when the best way to lower total weight is to take a few pounds off their body weight.The overall design consideration was total weight (~50 lbs). For city riding, we are assuming folks are not lugging around 50-60 lbs of cargo. Notice that the 210lb limit does not include the weight of the second battery. So you can do 235lbs with single battery no problem. I wanted to be clear about what is ideal maxed out weight with the second battery included. I will add that note / clarification to the 210 limit.
Does that help ? Clearly I am not good at marketing.

Yes. WW customers have a special discount code. If you are interested, I’ll DM you the code.
I am bloody impressed, Pushkar! One random test failure (in an unlikely city commute scenario) and you're switching componentry to maintain quality and customer service. This is yet another example of why I chose Watt Wagons, the Superbike, and most importantly, you!
The product quality will be there, no doubt, but people buy from people, and your service and committment to your customers is simply outstanding! Well done (and thank you to the members of this forum that guided me here and continue to make this experience great)!

I appreciate this bud. My goal is to offer things that just work. This incident also highlighted that WW customers are super-focused on helping me keep the quality top-notch for every offering.
I am extremely grateful and thankful for everyone's inputs. I will continue to test edge cases over the coming weeks (prior to launch).

I only have 3 bikes, and my manual bike is out of commission. However, there are a few segways, EUCs, and even a scooter around here somewhere.

definitely not as nice looking with that extra battery, but way better than having to carry the battery and do a swap. Hopefully the rack is easily replaced with something like the Super-Tourist (disc).

Yup. YOu can swap out the racks - no problem. The samples dont have additional rack mounts on the chainstays - but production version will have those.

The secret to having bikes in colors other than black... start with the welds!but THE WELDS ... look at the WELDS.....

I really like how that looks, 2nd battery and all. Beautiful welds indeed.
looks much better than the single battery, black version.
This is my way of saying...what's the discount for current WW customers? We just bought the Kid a new bike, but I might be able to convince the Girl to get an e-bike with me....

And people will mistake it for a battery delivery cargo bike.Looks like you could put 1-2 more batteries on the frame with some creativity, and another one on the rear rack. Imagine the range and marketing potential.

Yes , rear sprocket will change to Shimano sprocket.
