⚙️ #27 Recent Happenings

Happy 2025! It's been a busy couple months here at Dust so we wanted to kick the year off with a little content recap of the last few months.
Hightail Launch
The official name is here and it's Hightail! Inspired by the American West with the essence of speed and fun, the Hightail felt like the perfect name to represent the first Dust production bike.
Pre order Launch
Production is starting this summer, so be sure to lock in your bike today for a $100 refundable deposit. With this launch was the publication of the full list of performance specs, which we know many of you have been eager to see. So check it out in the link below!
WeFunder Still Open
We have reached our fundraise goal! This is a massive accomplishment and we will be closing at the end of February. However, it is still open so it's not too late to jump in and invest! This pivotal raise moves us towards production so a huge thank you all who've participated! If you want to invest or are curious on Dust's take on the eMoto market click the link below.
Design/ Build Updates
There has been a ton of development that we are so stoked to share with you! Here's a little insight into what we have been up to.
- Custom battery pack design lock:
- Vertical pull, swappable in under a minute
- Increased size to 4.4kWh to increase range
- Check out the video below for additional info!
- Motor/ gearbox custom design finalization:
- We are working closely with a veteran power sports engineer on final designs tweaks of our custom integrated motor gearbox. The gearing will be stronger and quieter than what we are currently seeing on the market.
- Frame under seat is 10MM narrower than the Alpha bikes:
- With the custom battery we have been able to narrow the frame rails, which in turn has allowed us to narrow the seat width as well. This addresses one of the most common points of feedback from alpha test riders in regards to comfort and instant familiarity.

And finally, just some fun content that has been released that maybe you missed - enjoy!
