3.8 is where its at.

but 4.3 is nice.

Kind of confused as to why nothing over 4.5 is up there. I'm riding a 5 and I love it, but would personally say that something like 4.8 would be perfect.

We aren't going to be making anything above 4.5. But 4.5 is looking pretty promising right now.

No offence intended, but that seems like a pretty backwards approach. The size of the scooters in our sport is slowly growing, whether it be for comfort, control or aesthetics. To make a deck that only reaches 4.5" in width seems to provide a disadvantage to the manufacturer's sales as the market for thinner decks is becoming smaller. It would be like making threaded forks, plastic core wheels or a non-intergrated deck. I'm not saying that 4.5" is an undesirable width, it is hands down the single most popular width, what I'm mainly trying to say is that more sales would be made with a deck that goes above 4.5" than one that remains under, honestly how many people prefer 4" over 4.5"?

So far, there is only going to be one size. Maybe two different lengths, but only one width. Making anything over 4.5" is not going to be a size that all people will compromise with. It has to be something in between.
I don't think it will be anything smaller than 4.5" though.
