No others do as well, my other bike that has the sensor is a Focus S27 which is a non bafang German mainstream bike.

I have a different ebike that has a gear shift sensor and to be honest I do not really trust it and it does not react and switch the motor off quick enough I always have made sure to let off the power manualy. I tend to shift immediatly after letting off the power and the inertia in the...

When I upgraded my wheels I had a issue where it all worked but the speedo did not, turns out that I forgot to put the magnet on the new wheel "Duh". So check your magnet is aligned with the sensor. And check the wires going from the sensor to the motor. Edit just saw that you have had this...

On my current bike with the Archon X1 1000w I use a 44t up front with a shimano cassette 11-42, 27.5 wheels with Fat Maxis Minion rubber this gives me the range I need and allows me to hit 35mph. It seems to be the sweet spot for me I am theory building a Hydra myself at the moment and I plan to...

170mm thats cool, tbh I did not want to go bigger than that really. Are there any forks certified for 1000w+? I assumed the new RS Zeb's might be certified for normal ebikes but I was not sure, to be honest just up the road from me there is a suspension tuning company called TF tuned. They are...

I'm looking at the new Hydra frame and I was wondering if I should go Mullet (29" up front 27.5" rear) if/when I decide to build one up. My brain is melting looking at the geo specs on the Watt Wagons Website lol. Trying to visualise possible build routes. I want to build it as a...

I cannot comment on the Electrek but the Archon is a huge improvement over stock.

Welcome to the Archon club. I am sure you will continue to be impressed, it does everything as advertised or better in my opinion. I did the upgrade because I blew up my old controller so it was intended as a repair, I would of been happy with it just fixing the issue but the improvements were...

Thankyou Acme, it was the only bit of info I could not see on the website. If I decide to do this I will only buy the frame motor electronics and battery only to begin with. I will be building the rest of the bike over a reasonably long time period maybe as long as a year and buy the other parts...

Was it 8 speed, my bad. It was still to expensive tho lol.

It was Andy Kirby's 1st Vapor video that made me interested in using the ultra in the first place. if it ws not for him I would not be commenting on this topic now lol. But I would not like to have his current version of the bike tbh, yeah plenty of power but he has had plenty of issues and much...

I kinda agree with you OP, I would probably be more than fine with say a 8 speed set but unfortunatly unless you pick up old/new stock like a unused XT groupset from the late 90's early 2000's then the quality will not be there in the materials. I run 11 speed atm because it is easy to purchase...

Obviously I will need a new x1 motor to go with it lol. Want to keep the old beast as a spare.

Just seen this on the Watt Wagons website and must say I am very tempted, what travel has it got on the back?

Yes seems we got cross wired :) I run a Ultra/ G510/ m620. I mean the spider that came originally with the motor kit, I assumed other bafang motors used a simular system. but guess I was mistaken. Excuse the cheap smart phone picture quality, bad lighting and the dirty bike. :)
