Is there any news on the 2019 Q45?
Looking to order 2 of the Q45s, one for me and another for my wife. Would like to get the colors. Any new or different Q45 features?
The website lists 2018 model and sold out on the colors.

Question for you Q45 riders.
Do you have or feel a need for a headrest?
I've owned a Silvio S30 before, rode that quite a bit, but have sold that. Looking to get a couple of the 2019 Q45s for me and wife to do some touring with, but wonder about the headrest. Can you even put a headrest on Q45?

You can have a look at my DIY headrest at this thread:

I did a 8-day tour recently and went a step further to incorporate a cushion. The cushion was a delight.

2018 bikes were sold out. Q45 will be re-stocked on April 24. The reasons that I don't own Q45 are: (1) the bike weight of 15+ Kg is too much for me. I am a skinny man weigh 56 Kg. (2) I want the head tube angle at least 78 degrees for fork with 40mm offset (84 degree with straight fork). I want a bike which I can push with one hand at the seat and the bike will go straight. The problem with low head tube angle is: the front wheel will flop until it hits the frame. If you don't want your Q45 front wheel to flop when you park the bike, make a bike stand which will lift the rear wheel at least 10" above ground, that is, to make the head tube nearly vertical.
