Anyone place a preorder for this bike? I’m trying to justify spending over 7K for it. To be fair I have at least 6k in my Buzzraw X so I guess it’s more of do I have room for another 7K bike in my collection. Would love to see some components specs on the bike such as front fork, rear shock, derailleur etc. I’m in the process of removing the gears on my Buzzraw and replacing them with a single speed Gates belt setup for simplicity and reliability. Maybe have this as an option on this bike. Also wish this had 24 inch wheels instead of 20’s for taller riders like myself. Love the styling, the 3500 watts, massive battery and charging system. Decisions, decisions.

CV did you see that Bolton Ebikes did a podcast about this with an interview of Pushkar?
Then, just put out a youtube video with a new FS eMTB Bolton is doing with a 600 motor that will have a WW provided controller.
Edit: Pretty sure he was not speaking of the 620 Ultra. And as a matter of fact that seems to be one way they are keeping weight down.
Also, just remembered, Bolton will be selling Hydras too.

Saw all that, I prefer to buy directly from WW. No middle man to deal with.

Yeah, me too.
Just excited for WW/Pushkar because his efforts to add in distributors will probably take him to a whole new level of $$ flow and profit.
Also the 600 having an Inotrace controller must be happening soonish rather than a far off dream.

Definitely good for him business wise. Kyle, the owner of Bolton is a good guy to partner with. He sells a lot of Ebikes. Should also be good publicity for Pushkar if he can get in on some of the videos and pod casts Kyle does.

Hah just looked at Bolton's page and saw this:
My bike was like that too, the wire cap sticking out too far. Think it may have been first thing I did was fix that.
I would actually prefer a booster seat to 24 inch wheels, like the tall seat set for the Juiced Scorpion/HyperScorpion.

24 inch wheels increase the distance between the bum and the ground, while a booster seat increases the distance between the bum and the pedals.
Plus a booster seat could be designed with a storage compartment underneath. I noticed WW doesn't offer much in terms of accessories, but I would also like to see a storage option for the main triangle.

This type of ebike really intrigues me.
I just watched a video of a couple of people riding around London on a pair of similar ebikes and it looked like the angle, while pedalling, would put some strain on the knees.
Can anyone who rides one of these bikes comment on this?

I have a Rize Blade with no booster seat, and my inseam is 34 inches. I need to sit almost on the rear rack to pedal comfortably. I don't notice the loss of mechanical advantage because the motor kicks in with minimal pedaling effort. If I were to carry a passenger, I would probably just use throttle. I like the new Crosstour design because minibike geometry matches well with minibike power. I would just like to see the tour part embraced with storage accessories.

I texted Pushkar about the X-Tour yesterday, asking when he thought they'd be ready for delivery. He's hoping the bike will be available sometime in April.
I'm thinking of ordering one for my wife.

I’m definitely buying one but have to wait until after settlement for my new house since I’ll be financing it.

I think you need to go on a rehab detox ebike program
Would be cool if its a second battery but it may just be style/somewhere to put a logo/name? Also cool if built-in storage/something useful..
Anyone know?

A front fender would be a 'must have' for me and rear rack would be nice too.
I was wondering about the two compartments......

I wonder if the frame is aluminum. Hopefully, we'll get more information when Pushkar gets the prototype in Feb.
It’s steel I believe
