I watched the whole thing. He’s selling WW now and is a dealer.

Great video. If I wasn't waiting for a Hydra to be delivered tomorrow and it wasn't Xmas Saturday I'd be driving a few hours up to Grass Valley to see that bike and put in my order.
Thanks for putting it up KW.

The Falcon is a different bike being sold by Bolton. It has the smaller Bafang M600 motor, which you can upgrade with the Archon controller as well, but only up to 1000 Watts. Bolton also sells the Hydra - https://boltonebikes.com/collections/wattwagons/products/hydraCalled the Falcon. Looks like you can upgrade to WW motor w Archon

The big question is WHEN WILL THOSE DAMN FRAMES FROM CHINA ARRIVE?
Interesting, I got excited and posted the link before actually watching it lol. Changed the title of my thread.

Not sure why anyone would buy the Falcon over Luna's X2. Luna's offering is $900 cheaper, with upgraded peek gear, more recent frame design and larger battery with (likey) less expensive option to upgrade the ludi v2 controller vs innotrace.
Also, looks like they are offering the Invoxia GPS tracker. Would NOT recommend it based on my experience. Spotty tracking, grossly exaggerated battery life, and you will need to keep charging it. Bolton is also charging more than you can buy the invoxia from Amazon. SMH. Much better to get a hard wired GPS unit with free monitoring from freedom pop nand throw it inside the carbon frame. See my experience here.

Anti theft GPS
Say the GPS tracker pinpoints the stolen bike and you know exactly what house the stolen bike is now kept in. That would not be enough for any judge in the USA to issue a search warrant for the police to enter the house and search for your bike. I could see how the GPS would be useful if the...

Luna warranties have historically sucked. The DT of the eBike world.

Well, you are basically buying both bikes from Dengfu thru a middleman, perhaps an extra middleman if Bolton is inserting itself between Denfu and WW. WW hasn't necessarily inspired confidence as of late. Not sure about Bolton and who is left holding the bag for warranty. I can't imagine the Warthogs they sold with recalled batteries and shredded IGH worked out that well for them, assuming they stood behind the product.

Isn't the 600 many pounds lighter than the 620 right off the bat??
And....wasn't there someone who was waiting for and wanting an Archon controlled 600 from WW. They must have it, or be close to full production for it now. Can't remember who wanted one....
Edit: 1.1 Kg (2.245 lbs) lighter.

Think it may be more than that, eg: https://bafang-e.com/en/products/motors/m-series/
Listed weights are 5.3kg vs 3.9kg, 1.4kg (3.03lbs) difference.

Note to self - no math in your head.
Edit: "Wait, I used the Bafang site too. How did he get a different result?"

Which best I can tell (Boston’s site seems to lack some basic info like suspension travel) looks to be this Dengfu bike, 120mm travel but with Yari fork vs unnamed: https://www.dengfubike.com/collecti...ail-bikes/products/e05?variant=28326660243561
Great to see the Archon offered for M600 - assuming they can be delivered on time etc.
Detailed specs say 29”x2.6” - thought I saw 27.5” in the video?

The "can't even hear the motor" part could be very interesting.
