Wethepeople announced their 2023 BMX bikes early in 2022. The hype was up and people were buzzing to get their hands on some after selling out multiple times. Many BMX Nerds had a near impossible time finding a 2021 WTP so the chance to get a 2023 model raised many eyebrows.
Sadly, months and months later, not one shop has gotten a mid-level 2023 wethepeople bike. I don’t understand what is going on here but lot’s of people are very disappointed.
2023 WTP Bike Timeline
Febuary 2022
In Febuary or 2022, the 2023 WTP Line was leaked and consequently announced. They announced the new bikes in a way that let people know what was on the way. We were promised the bikes “later this year”. Throughout the following months, they have teased the full line but we haven’t seen it yet.
May 2022
Around May of 2022, we started to see lower quality 2023 bikes appear. This included the 2023 Nova and the 2023 Arcade. Still none of the higher quality bikes.
August 2022
Even in august, the mid to high level 2023 wethepeople bikes had not been available. We keep hearing “they are on the way” but they are nowhere to be found. Hopefully we will see them in October but I wish we had more heads up and clear timelines.
“bikes will be available soon” is not clear enough.
Changes to the 2023 WTP Line
One of the most confusing things to me is why they are taking so long to come out. There were not very many significant changes. For the most part, the 2023 line is very similar to the 2021 line. Wethepeople have changed some colors and that’s about it.
So this leads to the question: “why is it taking so long?”
Either way, only time will tell but I’m really disappointed that we have been teased so long.
