Can you bolt them onto the wheel or is it just a push fit?

I think @JLabs pulleys will be push-fit and two piece. Seems like you can fit either Kegel or ABEC sprockets to which the pulley is also attached, and for example, if you decide to change your pulley size, you detach the 32T pulley and push-fit a new 40T pulley (to the Kegel or ABEC sprocket already in place).
Essentially the exact same thing as Evolve/Enertion push-fit pulleys, except ALUMINUM is what the world needs, in 40T - 44T, in at least 15mm width, preferably 17-20mm
You can always make the motor pulley bigger but not smaller – which is why 36T pulleys are not good

Yeah, the key aspects here are ALUMINUM and PUSH-FIT. Whithout those two critical features in current wheel pulleys systems, we’ll be stuck in the mud for a loooonnnggg time.
I mean, titanium would also be fine. But metal is a must-have and non-negotiable.

They are a push fit into the wheel, and then you just bolt on what ever Pulley you want (32,36,40,44)

Mhhh no good for me. I need 36T or 40T bolt on since my axle isn’t long enough to provide space for the pulley bearing …
There are plenty of bolt-on pulleys around, this thread is for press-fit. There are 75 different bolt-on pulleys I could use but 0 good press-fit pullies

I agree but nothing really nice for Kegel hubs, most of them are for Abec hubs.
Well, there is always Additive Manufacturing… that is, Titanium powder used to print complete structural pieces of this metal in a similar way we 3D print Nylon, ABS or other plastic materials.
They don’t require any mods or longer axles, that’s what great about them. They share a longer bearing with the wheel

Hmm, isn’t that just the same? Or how long will the “longer” bearing be? I am using Ronin precision axle stubs which have an effective length (including the threaded bit) of 32.4 mm.
They will use an 8x22x11mm bearing compared to the 8x22x7mm standard
I’d like to grab a couple of these pulleys when they are in stock. Should I pick up the longer bearings somewhere, or will you provide those?
Yessss, I already have ten of those 
I will provide 1 bearing per 1 wheel hub (as you will be able to purchase the wheel hub and pulley separately).
This has been long overdue…
